Description

I'm on Linux (CachyOS, i3wm) and I wanted to share my dotfiles on my Github. However I noticed that on the .config/copyq/ directory it keeps both configurations, some which seem redundant, but also some files related to what is copied. Even though right now it has nothing important on my Github, I see how that could be problematic if I copied some password or any other type of important text or image and share them.
`copy_tab_*.dat`, for example, keeps copied text (maybe images). There are also some other filer that for some reason change randomly from time to time, like `copy_geometry_ini.*`, looks like they are related to the size and position, but I have a predefined position on my i3 config and I never move the copyq window.
So I would like to know what which ones are configuration files and which ones aren't.
```
themes/ # Directory
.copyq_s
copyq-commands.ini
copyq-filter.ini
copyq-monitor.ini
copyq-monitor.ini.*
copyq.conf
copyq_geometry.ini
copyq_geometry.ini.*
copyq_tab_*.dat
copyq_tabs.ini
```
I'm using * because looks like the name of the files change/use random hex numbers.
