Hello all,
I've hit a small architectural hurdle implementing the idea of pasting
clipboard contents as linked segments.
If I'm reading the code correctly, it would seem that copying segments to the
clipboard makes deep copies in the clipboard, and thus any concept of which
segment they were copied from is lost. So, when I come to paste into the
composition as links, I don't know which composition segments to link to.
Do any bright ideas occur to anyone as to how to cope with this?
With my hacking hat on, the first idea which occurs is to change the
Clipboard::m_segments multiset to take a std::pair<Segment *, Segment *> in
place of the Segment * it has currently, to keep track of the original segment
next to the deep copy, in case it's needed when pasting.
That's just the idea which occurs off the top of my head, I haven't thought it
through hard enough to ascertain whether it's actually a good idea, or whether
there's another route I can take which is better.
Anyway, the bottom line is when pasting from the clipboard, one of the things I
need is an audit-trail back to the original segments so I can do the linking
properly. All suggestions most gratefully received!
Many thanks,
Ian.
