Re: Strip XMP Packet from the end of binary image data

[Tom Glod via use-livecode]

Richard, i have no idea > Fireworks CS6 has been discontinued for years
so I can't really even ask,

But this bug turned into a feature because my clipboard tool now
correclty saves clipboard data as reusable objects that keep their styles
and effects and meta data in at least 1 adobe program that I use.  I don't
use other adobe products except for this so I can't test it on the others.

it'll be interesting to see if it still works in some of their modern tools.

:D

Anything useful on modern devices.

You've never read my rants here on this?  Today I'll let others make the 
argument for me:









HTML is a natural fit, or its packaged variant, ePub.

PDF was a fine thing in its day, but that day was 20 years ago. The 
world is no longer 8.5" by 11".

As one would expect.  Any word from Adobe on why they're hammering the 
user's clipboard for no apparent reason?

Re: Strip XMP Packet from the end of binary image data

[Tom Glod via use-livecode]

The problem for me was that Fireworks was updating the clipboard data every
second ..effectively changing the content of the clipboard even if it
didn't change..The image was not changing , but the meta data was.  so
I had a runaway "Clipboard changing message" . it was a nightmare
...  esp because i did not know how to reproduce it.

once i did, just a simple workaround was needed. i ended up checking the ID
of the meta data, everything works fine in my clipboard tool :D :D :D a
very productive day for me. this one was big checkmark off my to do list.

Re: Strip XMP Packet from the end of binary image data

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Adobe does a LOT of crap when copying to the clipboard. Copy text from an OCR'd 
PDF sometime and paste it into a Livecode field. You may find the number of 
characters is more than are visible. This is what inspired me to write my 
cleanAscii function which filters out all chars before 32 and after 126.
