User changes in clipman actions do not register

The changes I make inside actions of clipman do not register. I tried to restart the program and even restart the system, but the wrong action is still taken.

I am utilising the default Bugz action and updated the old link taking to bugzilla with the new gitlab link and saved it, but the old link is still opened.

I have deleted the action which was created by default, created a new action with the same pattern and create a new command with the right link, and (1) despite deleting the default "Bugz" action it still shows up, and (2) the "Bugs" action I created with the correct link still executes the action from "Bugz" even though is it deleted!

The command I am trying to run is

Re: User changes in clipman actions do not register

Which distro, Xfce, and clipman versions are you running?

Can we get some more information?

ps -ef | grep -i clipman
whoami
ls -l ~/.config/xfce4/panel/
cat ls -l ~/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-clipman-actions.xml

Re: User changes in clipman actions do not register

Hi!

Thanks for the effort to try and help. I reviewed the clipman repository and it appears this feature of clipman is full of bugs and works unreliably, so I do not intend to use it anymore.

Cheers!
