However, I encountered a problem with putclip.
Run 'echo AAAAAAAA | putclip' and paste clipboard to notepad.exe.
Pasted string is garbled in my environment.
What am I wrong with?
s/am I/are we/ :-\ I can reproduce this. No idea what's wrong as there were no
recent changes to putclip. Let me dig further. Is this something you've done
routinely in the past and it was known to work?
No. But I confirmed that this issue does not happen with 1.4.16-2.
1.4.16-3 and 1.4.16-4(TEST) have this problem.
The problem is the putclip addition in file "cygutils-1.4.16-4.src.patch"
from the src package.
It adds "SetClipboardData (CF_UNICODETEXT, hData)" but the data is not in 16
bit unicode format. Removing this new section fixes the problem.
Another unrelated issue: GlobalFree() should possibly not be called on
handles passed to clipboard. See comment in "fhandler_clipboard.cc" from
Cygwin source.
BTW: The cygdrop crash does no longer occur.
BTW^2: Is there a new public repo for cygutils?
The old one ends at 1.4.16-2:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=cygwin-apps/cygutils.git;a=summary
Theoretically the idea was that this is the official repo for
this tool. Mark, please keep it up.
Yes, that's the intent. I was tripped up by my build environment not being stock;
that's been remedied. I was also mightily confused by Charles' apparent use of
git *and* a huge patch file. Some of my previous updates went one place rather
than both. Or as in this latest putclip case, into the patch file when it wasn't
yet complete. I am in the process of clearing the debris and making it right.
Thanks & Regards,
..mark
