My app is just setting the clipboarddata["text"] to a variable containing
plain text. I wonder if I should be setting some of the other keys in the
clipboard array.

It worked okay until the last version we released, compiled with LC 8.0.2
on Mac OS X. Maybe it's been fixed since then? I don't have a copy of
Powerpoint so I can't test.



Last week I had a user report issues pasting images into SnagIt but not

It seems that the way LiveCode is placing content on the clipboard is not
correct in 8.x. I have to in estimate further though.



Could the clipboardData be storing UTF16? Some apps might not work with 
that if they expect UTF8. If so, the fix would be to textEncode before 
setting the clipboardData, but we have no way of knowing what the user 
intends to do with the clipboard. It would break if they try to paste 
back into LC.


Just a guess.

Stephen,

Thanks for the stack. It was educational for me and a good start for some 
additional learning.

Very good and interesting stack.
Hopefully you do think about extending that to the rawClipboardData?

On Mac there is a ClipboardViewer 
(https://developer.apple.com/library/content/samplecode/ClipboardViewer/)
that shows even more entries in the clipboard than the rawClipboardData
reports, after putting a simple plain string into the clipboard in LC.

When pasting a copied text into a "plain" TextEdit window this reduces to
** public.utf8-plain-text **
(and NSStringPboardType). This UTF8-key works here, with MacOS 10.12, for
pasting in every other app. Probably this key, used with rawClipboardData,
has currently most chances to work for MacOS (and it's equivalents for Win
and Linux, given in the Dictionary).
