Can I filter Clipboard for images?

[sspaeti]

I have the usecase that I use the clipboard all the time. And I take a lot of screenshots.

And sometimes I'd like to tweet something with my recent screenshots. Current workflow, I open clipboard and I'm going down until I find my image - which can be 10 down. Then I am doing it again, and search the next one.

In Raycast or previous clipboard managers, I could filter the images - currently, there is no way - maybe easiest would be to filter Image to all images, then I could go through them easily and fast.

I'm sure this is not a priority, but it's something I use all the time - here's how an image looks (text is Image):

When I search for Image it does not filter it:

Any way such a functionallity is already possible with a shortcut or other?

Using ctrl + I allows you to only show images that might work ig

you are basically missing the keybind action hints at the bottom, see here:

those are all actions you can perform in the clipboard.

Ohh woow, this is great! Thanks so much.

Now I'm just missing the OCR search for all the images haha. But not that important, I tried something with tesseract a while back https://github.com/sspaeti/dotfiles/blob/master/hypr/.config/hypr/sspaeti/image-browser/screenshot-indexer-parallel.sh (AI generated...). Worked quite nice, but index can get pretty large, which is an overkill for walker probably.

I think having an OCR menu in community install will be quite good

but doing an OCR screenshot is only 1 command. dunno.

what OP means is being able to search through text OCRd from screenshots within the clipboard.

yeah something like this: https://x.com/sspaeti/status/1960654946220621906 where I can search for a text, and it would show all images that contain it.

The search is the easy part, the harder is building the index. I hooked it up to my shortcut when I take a print screen -> there is a post-shell script that moves the image in the right folder and updated the index new OCR text.

I guess, it would be similar to what you do with file content search that is built in in Walker, which I'm guessing, also needs to update its index to find files fast.

walker does not have file content search.

I use it every day :) Didn't it got moved to elephant, but yeah this one is integrated with Walker I use:
