A handful of desktop utilities for snipping multiple clips

Fri, 04 Jan 2008 09:00:00 GMT
You might imagine that a utility as simple as a multiple clipboard would have become standard on the GNU/Linux desktop. All it needs is the ability to copy and paste text and some popular graphics formats, plus some basic controls to set the number of stored items and to clear the memory. Yet, although at least six multiple clipboards are available, choosing which to use is a matter of trade-offs that depends partly on your desktop environment and partly on which features you want.

NAME

       update-desktop-database - Desktop file caching utility

SYNOPSIS

       update-desktop-database [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [filepath]

DESCRIPTION

       update-desktop-database creates cache files for desktop file MIME type mapping for improved MIME lookup performance.

       It  expects  to	be  given  the	path  to  a  directory	or  directories  containing a number of application installed .desktop files, e.g.
       /usr/share/applications, and writes a mime-info.cache containing cached information about the MIME types that each application can  handle.
       If  no directory is provided, this utility will use a default directory list as specified in the FreeDesktop MIME specification. This cache
       file is used to avoid a lot of system call and disk seek overhead in a number of applications.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -?, --help		       Show help options.

       -v, --verbose		       Turn on verbose output.

       -q, --quiet		       Do not provide any output.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       filepath 	       The path to a directory or directories containing a number of application installed .desktop files.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Application exited successfully

       1	Application exited with failure

FILES
