Kornitop : Clipboard Notes Manager Copyright: (c) 2011, Pieter Greyling (http://www.pietergreyling.com) License : Apache License 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) Simple and corny cross-platform clipboard tracker (to start with...) Currently built with Python and PyGTK. BEWARE: By design, text entries from the system clipboard are persisted to a file and reloaded upon restart of the application. Kornitop began life as Kornitop for Windows programmed in Delphi: http://www.chileserve.net/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,73/func,listcat/catid,3/lang,en/ http://www.chileserve.net/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,73/func,view/id,18/catid,4/lang,en/ I wanted to build an open source version using a cross-platform dynamic language and GUI toolkit. After much messing around I picked on Python with PyGTK. So far I am pretty happy with this decision. To get going I used the PyGTK 2.0 Tutorial, section 15.1.5. A Clipboard Example, as a starting point: http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-NewInPyGTK2.2.html#sec-ClipboardExample http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/examples/clipboard.py
