Updated MCP server config to use Homebrew-installed clippy path ### Fixed - Fixed linter warnings in examples and main code ## [0.8.0] - 2025-01-18 ### Added - **MCP (Model Context Protocol) server**: New `mcp-server` subcommand enables AI assistants to use clippy - Integrate with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI tool - Three powerful tools exposed: - `clipboard_copy`: Copy text or files to clipboard programmatically - `clipboard_paste`: Paste clipboard content to files/directories - `get_recent_downloads`: List and work with recently downloaded files - Built with github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go for standard MCP compliance - Includes pre-built prompts for common operations - Simple setup: just add to claude_desktop_config.json - **New `-i` flag for interactive picker**: Clean separation between immediate copy (`-r`) and interactive mode (`-i`) - `clippy -i` - show interactive picker with recent files - `clippy -i 3` - show picker with 3 most recent files - `clippy -i 5m` - show picker for files from last 5 minutes - Both `-r` and `-i` accept the same arguments (DRY implementation) - **Lowercase 'p' key in picker**: Changed from 'P' to 'p' for copy & paste mode (easier to type) - **Text paste to directories**: Pasting text content to a directory now creates timestamped .txt files ### Changed - **Major architectural refactor**: Following Saša Jurić's Core vs Interface philosophy - Moved Bubble Tea picker from `pkg/recent/` to `cmd/clippy/` - Core library (pkg/) now only provides data and business logic - Interface elements (UI/TUI) live in cmd/ where they belong - This creates proper separation of concerns - **Simplified `-r` flag behavior**: Now always does immediate copy (no picker) - `clippy -r` - copies most recent download immediately - `clippy -r 3` - copies 3 most recent downloads immediately - Use `-i` flag for interactive picker mode - **Bubble Tea picker improvements**: Now supports both single and multi-select seamlessly - Space to toggle selection - Enter to copy (selected items or current item if nothing selected) - 'p' to copy & paste in one operation ### Fixed - **Clipboard synchronization bug**: Fixed "Heisenbug" where clipboard operations only worked with --debug flag - Replaced hacky sleep with proper NSPasteboard changeCount polling - Clipboard operations now wait for macOS to confirm completion - Uses NSRunLoop to properly handle asynchronous pasteboard operations - This is the correct way to handle clipboard operations in macOS CLI tools - **MCP tool naming**: Fixed validation error by changing tool names from forward slashes to underscores - **Directories in picker**: Fixed issue where directories appeared in the file picker ### Removed - **Removed --batch flag**: Functionality integrated into numbered copies (e.g., `clippy -r 3`) - **Removed --pick flag**: Use `-i` for interactive picker instead - **Removed picker from pkg/recent**: UI components now properly live in cmd/ ## [0.7.2] - 2025-07-17 ### Changed - **Major architectural refactor**: Moved all recent downloads functionality from pasty to clippy - Recent downloads is about file selection, which belongs in clippy (copy TO clipboard) - Pasty now focuses purely on pasting FROM clipboard - This creates cleaner separation of concerns - **New `--paste` flag in clippy**: Copy and paste in one step - `clippy file.txt --paste` - copy to clipboard AND paste to current directory - `clippy -r --paste` - copy recent download and paste here - `clippy -r --pick --paste` - pick file, copy it, and paste here ### Fixed - **Picker functionality**: Fixed `--pick` flag that was broken in v0.7.1 due to buggy wrapper function - **DRY refactor**: Removed `PastePickedRecentDownload()` wrapper, both tools now use shared `PickRecentDownload()` function - **Public API**: Made `CopyFileToDestination()` public for shared use between tools - **Test fixes**: Fixed hardcoded test expectations and handling of filenames with spaces ### Removed - **Recent downloads in pasty**: All `-r/--recent` functionality removed from pasty - Use `clippy -r --paste` instead of `pasty -r` - This is a breaking change but creates better architecture ## [0.7.1] - 2025-07-17 ### Changed - **Streamlined recent downloads UX**: `-r/--recent` now accepts optional time duration directly - `clippy -r 5m` instead of `clippy --recent --recent-time 5m` - `pasty -r 1h` instead of `pasty --recent --recent-time 1h` - Backward compatibility maintained with `--recent` long form - **Updated documentation**: All examples now show the streamlined `-r` usage pattern ## [0.7.0] - 2025-07-17 ### Added - **Recent downloads functionality**: Copy your most recent downloads without leaving the terminal - `clippy -r` / `pasty -r` - copy most recent download - `clippy -r 5m` / `pasty -r 5m` - time-based filtering - `clippy -r --batch` / `pasty -r --batch` - copy all files from recent batch download - `clippy -r --pick` / `pasty -r --pick` - interactive picker using promptui - **Smart Downloads folder detection**: Automatically finds and scans macOS Downloads folder - **Batch download handling**: Groups files downloaded within 30 seconds for batch operations - **Archive auto-detection**: Smart handling of common archive types (.zip, .tar.gz, .dmg, etc.) - **Separate debug and verbose modes**: `--debug` for technical details, `--verbose` for user-friendly output - **Enhanced logging**: Debug mode shows technical details while verbose shows user-friendly messages ### Technical - **Cobra CLI framework**: Professional command-line interface with comprehensive help - **Library-first architecture**: All functionality available as Go library functions - **Platform-specific build constraints**: Proper macOS-only compilation ## [0.6.1] - 2025-07-17 ### Fixed - Pasty now correctly prioritizes file references over text content when both are present on clipboard - When you copy a file from Finder, pasty now outputs the file path instead of just the filename ### Changed - Pasty now defaults to copying files to current directory when no destination is specified (equivalent to `pasty .`) ## [0.6.0] - 2025-07-16 ### Added - **UTI detection**: Hybrid detection system using macOS UTI → MIME → mimetype fallback for maximum reliability - **Enhanced verbose output**: Shows which detection method was used (UTI, MIME, or content analysis) - **CI for pull requests**: GitHub Actions workflow runs tests, linting, and builds on all PRs - **Pasty library architecture**: Refactored to use `clippy.PasteToStdout()` and `clippy.PasteToFile()` functions ### Changed - More accurate type detection using macOS's native UTI system instead of relying solely on MIME types - Pasty now uses library functions for DRY architecture (thin CLI over rich library functionality) - Updated all tests to match new verbose output format - Improved error handling and code quality ### Fixed - Removed unused code and resolved linting issues - Better temporary file cleanup with proper error handling ## [0.5.1] - 2025-07-16 ### Changed - Updated README with compelling real-world examples for pasty - Screenshots & in-memory content processing workflows - Multi-file scripting and automation examples - GUI → CLI bridge use cases ### Fixed - Code formatting improvements - Removed redundant test cleanup flags ## [0.5.0] - 2025-07-16 ### Added - **Library support**: Clippy can now be used as a Go library - High-level API with smart detection (`clippy.Copy()`, `clippy.CopyData()`, etc.) - Low-level clipboard API (`pkg/clipboard` package) - Examples directory with working code samples - Support for stdin in library API (`clippy.CopyData(os.Stdin)`) - **Pasty tool**: Companion paste tool for intelligent clipboard reading - GoReleaser config now builds both clippy and pasty binaries ### Changed - Moved clipboard package to `pkg/clipboard` for public library use - Simplified clipboard package (removed low-level functions like `GetImage`, `GetTypes`) - Updated README with library usage documentation and pasty tool section - Fixed GoReleaser to use `brews` instead of `homebrew_casks` for CLI tools ## [0.4.0] - 2025-07-16 ### Added - Help flag (-h, --help) with comprehensive usage examples - Config file options: `cleanup` and `temp_dir` - Project restructured to support multiple binaries (preparing for pasty companion tool) ### Changed - Code refactored to reduce duplication (DRY improvements) -
