#142 no parcelliterc ?
Since the latest manjaro update, including xfce 4.12, parcellite only opened fullscreen and could only be closed by either selecting an item or hitting <Esc>.
After realizing that my directory ~/.config/parcellite/ is empty I removed the package, deleted the directory and then reinstalling parcellite. Now the empty directory was created again.
The closing you describe is normal. Try selecting a preference and closing the preference dialog. Your rc file should be there. Also, what is your screen resolution?
In the preferences dialog, there is a place set the width of the history. Please try changing that. What version of parcellite?
Thank you for your reply! Yes the closing behavior is normal, I know. What I meant to say is that Parcellite leaves so space outside the window to do anything else ;) I am using version 1.1.9-1 and it was working fine until the latest manjaro update. Unfortunately I have no idea why this is related. My screen resolution is 1366x768. I have again reinstalled it. There is no parcelliterc. Changing the length of history has no effect. Next time I open the preferences it is set back to 25.

I need to make sure we are talking about the same things.
Preferences->Display->Character length of items
Sets the width
Preferences->Display->Items in history
Sets the length
See if you can touch
~/.config/parcellite/x
Perhaps there is a permissions issue?
Also try closing Parcellite (Quit), then run it from the command (parcellite &) line and see if you have any prints.
Thank you, rickyrockrat!
As I said before: My ~/.config/parcellite/ is completely empty!
Any changes of preferences are ignored.
Running parcellite from the terminal gives me this:
Looking in '/etc/xdg/parcellite/parcelliterc'
which: no xdotool in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/home/bernhard/scripts:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl)
Flag 0x0001, status 256, EXIT 1 STAT 1
Looking in '/etc/xdg/parcellite/parcelliterc'

The directory /etc/xdg/parcellite/ does not exist either btw ...
I have installed xdotool now. So this error message is gone,
Apart from that nothing has changed and I still get:
Looking in '/etc/xdg/parcellite/parcelliterc'
Flag 0x0001, status 0, EXIT 1 STAT 0
How about this command?
touch ~/.config/parcellite/x
ls ~/.config/parcellite
And this one:
ls /usr/lib/gtk-*
touch ~/.config/parcellite/x
gives me no output and creates file x
ls ~/.config/parcellite
of course gives the output: x
and then:
ls /usr/lib/gtk-
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0:
2.10.0/ include/ modules/
/usr/lib/gtk-3.0:
3.0.0/ modules/
/usr/lib/gtk-sharp-2.0:
gapi2xml.pl gapi_codegen.exe gapi-fixup.exe gapi-parser.exe gapi_pp.pl*
I'm officially stumped. I tend to suspect the update.
I am also running gtk-2.0/2.10.0. Assuming the 'touch x' was run with the same user as parcellite, you shouldn't have permission issues.
Can you check out the source, change a couple files, build and test?
in utils.c, you can un-comment out the #define DMTRACE, and in parcellite.h, uncomment DEBUG_UPDATE and DEBUG.
The most important one being DEBUG_UPDATE, then enable the debug_update in preferences. If that won't update for some reason, then in line 2338 in main, just set debug_update=1.
Not seeing any activity on this, so I'll close it shortly.
