New App Lets You Save Clipboard Content as a New File on Ubuntu - OMG! Ubuntu!
Every copied a block of text to your clipboard and wished you could quickly save it as a file?
Well, open source developer Marcos Costales (of Folder Color fame) has released a new app that does precisely that.
When you have the ‘Clipboard to File’ tool installed you get a new right-click context-menu entry in Nautilus file manager (or the Nemo and Caja file managers, which are also supported). When you select it, it saves your clipboard content as a new text file or, if you copied an image, saves the image as a PNG file.
I often copy a chunk of text to my clipboard, launch Gedit (or another Linux text editor), paste the clipboard content in, hit ‘save’, pick a filename, choose a location, etc. It’s not hard but it is a minor hassle given there is, now, a much faster workaround.
