Clipboard request causes popups in Inkscape
Migrated from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/418242
Steps to reproduce:
- Install one of the applications that abuse the clipboard request signal (okular, xfce4-clipman-plugin, etc)
- open Inkscape
- create a shape
- copy onto the clipboard
What happened?
Inkscape pops up windows because it's trying to convert the svg to many other formats such as postscript, pdf, and many others.
What should have happened?
It shouldn't pop up windows for clipboard requests. There should be a silent flag which allows the extension to use default or last used values and any output should not be shown by Inkscape itself (only when called from the clipboard code).
