palmoni5 f28ac38ccf feat: optionally sync clipboard between connected sessions (#15934)
* feat(clipboard): optionally sync clipboard between connected sessions

Clipboard content received from a remote session is written to the local
clipboard with an owner marker, so the client clipboard loop deliberately
skips re-broadcasting it to avoid echo loops. As a result, text copied in
one remote window could not be pasted in another connected remote window.

Add an opt-in local option (allow-sync-clipboard-between-sessions) that
relays Clipboard/MultiClipboards messages received from one session to
all other connected sessions, excluding the source session. Per-session
clipboard permissions and view-only mode are still respected via the
existing send path, and the owner marker on the receiving peers prevents
any echo back.

Desktop (flutter) only; file clipboard is not affected.

* fix(lang): propagate sync-clipboard-between-sessions-tip to all locale files

Add the new key to template.rs and every locale file per the localization
convention, move the en.rs entry to the end of the list, and drop comments
that only restated the names next to them.

* fix(lang): add the 'Sync clipboard between sessions' label to the localization catalog

The checkbox label goes through translate(), so add it to template.rs
and every locale file so non-English locales can translate it. en.rs is
skipped since the English display text is identical to the key.

* fix(clipboard): check the source session's full clipboard permission before relaying

The relay was gated only by the incoming clipboard_allowed check
(!disable_clipboard && !view_only). Gate it with
is_text_clipboard_required() instead, which additionally respects the
source session's server_clipboard_enabled and server_keyboard_enabled
state, matching the predicate already applied to destination sessions.
A message arriving after the source permission was revoked (or from a
non-conforming peer) is no longer propagated to other sessions. The
existing local update_clipboard behavior is unchanged.

* fix(lang): translate the new clipboard sync entries in all locale files

Fill the 'Sync clipboard between sessions' label and its tooltip in
every locale file instead of leaving them blank, following each file's
existing terminology. template.rs keeps the empty master entries.

Dependencies

Desktop versions use Flutter or Sciter (deprecated) for GUI. This tutorial is for Sciter only, since it is easier and more friendly to start. Check out our CI for building the Flutter version.

Please download Sciter dynamic library yourself.

Raw Steps to build

  • Prepare your Rust development env and C++ build env

  • Install vcpkg, and set VCPKG_ROOT env variable correctly

    • Windows: vcpkg install libvpx:x64-windows-static libyuv:x64-windows-static opus:x64-windows-static aom:x64-windows-static
    • Linux/macOS: vcpkg install libvpx libyuv opus aom
  • run cargo run

Install vcpkg

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
cd vcpkg
git checkout 2023.04.15
cd ..
vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
export VCPKG_ROOT=$HOME/vcpkg

Fix libvpx (For Fedora)

cd vcpkg/buildtrees/libvpx/src
cd *
./configure

Build

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk
cd rustdesk
mkdir -p target/debug

How to build with Docker

Begin by cloning the repository and building the Docker container:

git clone https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk
cd rustdesk
git submodule update --init --recursive
docker build -t "rustdesk-builder" .

Then, each time you need to build the application, run the following command:

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/home/user/rustdesk -v rustdesk-git-cache:/home/user/.cargo/git -v rustdesk-registry-cache:/home/user/.cargo/registry -e PUID="$(id -u)" -e PGID="$(id -g)" rustdesk-builder

Note that the first build may take longer before dependencies are cached, subsequent builds will be faster. Additionally, if you need to specify different arguments to the build command, you may do so at the end of the command in the <OPTIONAL-ARGS> position. For instance, if you wanted to build an optimized release version, you would run the command above followed by --release. The resulting executable will be available in the target folder on your system, and can be run with:

target/debug/rustdesk

Or, if you're running a release executable:

target/release/rustdesk

Please ensure that you run these commands from the root of the RustDesk repository, or the application may not find the required resources. Also note that other cargo subcommands such as install or run are not currently supported via this method as they would install or run the program inside the container instead of the host.
