Comment 4 for bug 527295

Alessio, thank you for your comment. I'm all for cooperation and creating a better experience for everyone, both devs and users.

I'm merely the packager and an interested party. Stéphane would be the one to talk to about making changes upstream and adding you to the pastebinit devs. You opened an upstream pastebinit task which I think is invalid but beneficial nonetheless ;-) to get it on his radar so he has a chance to comment. I wouldn't be surprised if the answer was "patches welcome".

I did open bug 580848 because I felt that was something that nautilus-pastebin was offering and pastebinit currently doesn't. I'm also all for the separation of backend and GUI/nautilus integration. I haven't had a look, but I was hoping that nautilus-pastebin was modular enough so that we could just shamelessly steal that part of your code and use it with pastebinit ;-)

I'd be happy to test any changes/hacks you may consider interesting. If they work well, I'd also consider to include a patch in Debian irrespective of progress upstream (although I would think that Stéphane is usually quicker to react than me).
