Description:

pwsafe (0.2.0-6) offers copying login and password information to the clipboard.
Yet, I can't get it to do this. Copying to standard output and primary selection
works, with the latter being done if I try to copy to the clipboard:

$ pwsafe -up -s Primary foo
Going to copy login and password to X selection

$ pwsafe -up -s Secondary foo
Going to copy login and password to X selection

$ pwsafe -up -s Clipboard foo
Going to copy login and password to X selection

$ pwsafe -up -s Both foo
Going to copy login and password to X selection

$ pwsafe -up -x foo
Going to copy login and password to X selection

$ pwsafe -up -E foo
Going to print login and password to stdout
This task depends upon

Probably it can not copy both username and password to clipboard. -u and -p works fine for me.

Unfortunately, it doesn't for me:

$ pwsafe -p -x foo
Going to copy password to X selection

What does pwsafe print after "Sending password for ... to"? It should send password to clipboard manager such as parcellite or klipper.

Try pwsafe -p -s Both foo

Good call! So there are two problems here, only one of which is directly related
to pwsafe:

1. Firefox didn't allow me to paste into the flash application I tried to login
to. That's why I thought copying to the clipboard didn't work. Maybe I'd have
to use xclip or similar for this to work. However, pasting from pwsafe into
firefox directly works, both via the primary selection and the clipboard.

2. pwsafe announces the paste target wrongly, though it does the right thing in
the end.

Thanks for your help. I think this issue can be closed. Maybe one of us should
report the pwsafe's wrong announcement targets to pwsafe's developer.
