316160 ClipboardTracker-8a42945d-d5a6-49e7-aadc-df3db35fb67f running

#1

I have a constant stream of spam in the console of:

316160 ClipboardTracker-8a42945d-d5a6-49e7-aadc-df3db35fb67f running

about every 5-10 seconds. I am unsure if this comes from a plugin or is a part of Sublime. Would like to make it stop so I can use the console better.

its not part of ST, what packages do you have installed? try disabling them until it stops

If you can reproduce the error, I’m sure reporting it would help:

@pushxtonotdie Thanks for trying Text Pastry! The Clipboard Tracker is used to create a history of your clipboard. You can display the content by opening the Clipboard Viewer through the Command Palette:

"Text Pastry: Show Clipboard Viewer"

One would have to explicitly enable it in order to track the clipboard, it’s disabled by default in TextPastry.sublime-settings:
"tracker_enabled": false, "tracker_autostart": false, "tracker_interval": 0.5,

On mine it has this in /Users/REDACTED/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text/Packages/Text Pastry/TextPastry.sublime-settings:

    "tracker_enabled": true,
    "tracker_autostart": false,
    "tracker_log_enabled": true,
    "tracker_interval": 0.5,

in other words, contrary to what duy said in 2019, it is enabled by default.
(See also: Text-Pastry/TextPastry.sublime-settings in github.)

So now I want to know where the heck is this tracker log, so I can delete all the confidential stuff it has copied over the years.

But, looking at the code, it appears the “log” setting just enables the thing to print the ClipboardTracker message in the console every 10 sec.
