Stashed is a neat little app that allows users to place files inside of it to copy later. It\u2019s excellent, especially for those on Linux who regularly copy files. Here\u2019s how you can use Stashed to save your files for copying later!<\/p>\n

Enabling the Elementary OS App Center Repo on Linux<\/h2>\n

The Stashed application is available as a Flatpak. That being said, it is not available on the Flathub app store like most Flatpak apps. Instead, it is an App Center app. App Center comes with Elementary OS. Although it is part of Elementary OS, App Center can be used by anyone on any Linux operating system. This is possible because App Center uses Flatpak, and users can easily add this repo to their Flatpak setup.<\/p>\n

So, before you can install the Stashed tool on your computer, you will have to enable the App Center repo. To do that, start by launching a terminal window on the Linux desktop.<\/p>\n

To open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop, you\u2019ll need to press Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way. Once the terminal window is open, you will need to set up the Flatpak runtime.<\/p>\n

Installing the Flatpak runtime on Linux is pretty straightforward. All you\u2019ll need to do is install the \u201cflatpak\u201d package onto your computer using the package manager included in your operating system.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re having issues setting up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, don\u2019t worry! We can help! Follow along with our in-depth guide on how to configure the Flatpak runtime on Linux.<\/p>\n

After setting up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, the App Center Flatpak repo can be enabled. Using the flatpak remote-add command down below, set up the repo.<\/p>\n

\nflatpak remote-add --user appcenter https:\/\/flatpak.elementary.io\/repo.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
Installing Stashed on Linux<\/h3>\n
The Stashed app is available in the App Center repo as a Flatpak. So, if you want to get it installed on your computer, you\u2019ll have to install it with the flatpak install<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak install appcenter com.github.hezral.stashed\n<\/pre>\n
Build via source code<\/h3>\n
While installing the Stashed application through the App Center Flatpak repo on Linux is the easiest way to get it going, it isn\u2019t the only way to do it. It is also possible to compile this app from the source code using Meson.<\/p>\n
To get it working on your system, ensure you have the following dependencies installed onto your computer. Without these dependencies, Stashed will not compile.<\/p>\n
    \n
  • python3<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • python3-gi<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • libgranite-dev<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • python-xlib<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • xclip<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • pynput<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    After setting up the dependencies on your computer, you\u2019ll be able to build Stashed and install it on your computer using the commands below.<\/p>\n
    \ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/hezral\/stashed.git\ncd clips\nmeson build --prefix=\/usr\ncd build\nninja build\nsudo ninja install\n<\/pre>\n
    How to stash your files for later<\/h2>\n
    To use Stash to save your files for later, open up the app. You can launch the app by searching for \u201cStashed\u201d in the app menu. Alternatively, it is also possible to run the program via the command line with the command below.<\/p>\n
    \nflatpak run com.github.hezral.stashed\n<\/pre>\n
    With the Stashed application up and running, follow the step-by-step instructions down below.<\/p>\n
    Step 1:<\/strong> With the Stashed application open on your Linux desktop, launch the Linux file manager. You can find the Linux file manager inside of the app menu. With the app open, locate the file you wish to stash away for later.<\/p>\n
    Step 2:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve located the file you wish to stash away inside of the Stashed app, click on it to select it. Then, drag it into the Stashed window. Repeat this process till you\u2019ve stored all of the files you need.<\/p>\n
    \"\"<\/p>\n
    Step 3:<\/strong> Go to another location in the Linux file manager where you\u2019d like to copy the files you\u2019ve stored inside of the app. For example, if you\u2019d like to place your stashed files into the \u201cDocuments\u201d folder, click on \u201cDocuments\u201d in the Linux file manager.<\/p>\n
    Step 4:<\/strong> Go back into the Stashed application and click on your stored files with the mouse. Do not let go of the mouse button. Otherwise, you\u2019ll need to re-select the files.<\/p>\n
    \"\"<\/p>\n
    Upon selecting the files inside of Stashed, drag them to the location you\u2019d like to save them to.<\/p>\n
    Step 5:<\/strong> With your files copied, find the \u201cClear\u201d button inside the app and click on it. When you select the \u201cClear\u201d button, Stash will forget the files you\u2019ve stored in it and leave you with a blank window.<\/p>\n
    Stash options<\/h3>\n
    While stash is a pretty simple program, it does have options that you can configure. To access the options, find the gear icon next to the search button and select it. Once inside the options area, you can configure the theme settings, as well as options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
