I don't recall what exactly was the problem with copy and pasting to OOo but I recall that it needs to be fixed in OpenOffice.

Hi, Bob Long [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I use Windows, so just guessing here. In the GIMP for Windows, Edit|Copy will not paste to other applications. But Edit |Copy to Clipboard does. See if you have that option. That's specific to the Win32 platform. On X11, using GIMP 2.2, Edit-Copy and Edit-Paste work between applications. Of course only if the other application supports passing image data over the X11 clipboard. Not many apps do and those that do don't necessarily do it correctly.

A short explanation will help: When an application puts something on the clipboard, it does so by registering a number of mime types that it can handle - thus, when you select part of a web page in Firefox, the CLIPBOARD clipboard is taken by Firefox, and it registers a number of mime types - text/plain and text/html for example. Then when you drag drop the selection to another application, the application chooses the format in which it wants the source data, and requests it (via X) from the source application. The GIMP now supports the following mime types for copy paste and drag drop data: Drops pastes: file text/plain text/uri-list image/png image/jpeg A bunch more image/*s image/svg+xml Drags copies: image/svg+xml (from paths dock) image/png image/jpeg A bunch more image/*s (from layers, selections, bunch of other stuff). So if OOo supports image/png or image/svg+xml from the clipboard, it'll automatically work with the GIMP.

Hi, David Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: So if OOo supports image/png or image/svg+xml from the clipboard, it'll automatically work with the GIMP. GIMP doesn't announce the clipboard as image/svg+xml. If we ever introduce a vectors clipboard, we would probably use image/svg+xml. For image copy-and-paste, the other apps needs to be able to deal with one of the available formats that GdkPixbuf is able to write. To get a list of these formats, start gimp with the --verbose option. It will output something like: GimpClipboard: writable pixbuf format: image/png GimpClipboard: writable pixbuf format: image/x-icon GimpClipboard: writable pixbuf format: image/jpeg That's the list of mime types that we announce for image data in the clipboard.
