Enhancement: Paste from file

Hi.

Downloading the files with a help of terminal codes (download.sh script) is the best thing in the newest iTerm2! It is just a killer feature.

Could you provide also reverse operation? I mean "Paste from file". In the simplest form it might be the same as "Paste Special > Advanced Paste" with additional "File..."field.

Thanks!

You can go to finder and copy a file, then do Paste Special > Paste File Base64-Encoded. On the remote end do:

base64 --decode > filename

It would be nice to have an upload.sh that does this plus prompts iTerm2 to open a file picker, though.

Milestone changed to %Feature Complete 3.1

mentioned in issue #4762 (closed)

Above instruction is not clear to me.

When I do 'Paste Special > Paste File Base64-Encoded' on the terminal, some popup is showing like below.

And when I click 'ok', it just pastes 9 lines. I think this should not be supposed?

Then after I do 'base64 --decode > filename', it never end.

What was wrong with me?

Thanks

What's the file you're trying to paste? And what got pasted?

I forgot that you need to send an EOF after pasting. Control-D at the start of a line will do that.

I copied a text file in the finder, then I was trying to paste the text file. And when I pased it with the 'Paste File Base64-Encoded', I had something like that which had 9 lines.

At this point I press Control-D to signal end-of-file.

Georges-iMac:/Users/gnachman% cat myfile
{
//  string expr = "[](double* x, double* p){";
//  expr += " struct FF {";
//  expr += " int operator()(int i) {";
//  expr += " return ( i <= 0 ) ? 1 : i*operator()(i-1);";
//  expr += " };";
//  expr += " } ff;";
//  expr += " return ff(x[0]);";
//  expr += "}";
//
//  TF1* f = new TF1("f", expr.c_str(), 0, 10, 0);
//  f->Draw();

auto f = TF1("f", "[](double* x, double* p){cout << x[0] << endl; return sin(x[0])+gRandom->Uniform(-1, 1); }", 0, 1, 0);
f.SetRange(0,1);
f.Draw();

}

Thanks George. I was confused the order of command. I should have put the command for the 'base64 -d' first and then pasted. Now it works fine.

Thanks again for your help!
