This is a documentation bug really - you can only store binary data in
the
private key of the clipboard/dragboard (these things only store binary
data internally for all things).
So you need to textEncode/textDecode strings, and arrayEncode/Decode
arrays
if you want to store either of those things there.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
Thanks for the clarification Mark. I'm fine with treating it as binary
and encoding/decoding my data as needed to keep it private and usable in
our app. I would be nice to have that in the dragData dictionary entry
whenever the docs can be updated.
I should learn how to contribute to updating documentation myself, but I
have tried setting up GIT on Windows twice without success (obviously I
am doing something basic wrong).

Re: dragData["private"] is not Unicode aware
I had a similar problem with the merge command. Try using urlEncode to
store the text and urlDecode to retrieve it.
Both our issues should probably be reported as bugs, but I haven't had
time. Feel free. :)

Essentially, I discovered in LC905rc1 that:
For years you could do:
set the dragData["private"] to "Some English Text"
and then put the dragData{"private"] and get "Some English Text"
In trying to may our apps more internationally aware (i.e. supporting
Unicode), we just tried:
set the dragData["private"] to "一些中文文本"
and then put the dragData["private"] and we got "??"
And, before someone says "Use "text" vs "private", we use "private"
since, in our app, other data beside some text is added and that data is
private to our application (i.e. it should not be draggable outside our
app). My understanding is the using "text" would allow the data to be
draggable to other apps that allow dropped text.
Does this ("Private" NOT Unicode aware) seem like a Feature or a Bug?
