Heya,
Still using it - it works great, but any chance you can make it work a bit smoother on panels? Or integrate it in the pastebin widget... It can already handle text and images.
Hugs,

Hey,
This is a really nice plasmoid. The UI might indeed not be the very best ever and middle-click-paste doesn't seem to work but aside of those minor quirks it does its job great. I have it on my panel now next to the pastebin (which should have a URL shortening service build in, imho).
Thanks a bunch!
