If I understand correctly, base64 is used to strip newlines when writing and reading from the clipboard manager. So I was able to replace the "base64" or "base64 -d" command with a suitable bash function in src/platform/cygwin.sh using "tr": >
Hello Stephen, I don't know the exact use of base64 in the source but it isn't generally used to strip newlines. (I don't even know if it can do that) Base64 is a method of encoding binary data in plain text. They being said there may be other methods for base64 encoding. For example openssl has a base64 endowed. Is that available on your system? Maybe it could be used as a fallback. I don't use windows so I am taking shots in the dark but it shouldn't be difficult to call a different binary if `base64 ` isn't available. Cheers, Kevin
