It's time to get the clipboard cleaned up nice, so we'll need to know all the instances that users might need us to address. This is an area to collect information about how the clipboard is currently behaving, and how it's not meeting expectations in different instances.
#NICE CLIPBOARD SOFTWARE#
As of 2009-10 inkscape is not usable in combination with such software - what a pitty!
#NICE CLIPBOARD PC#
Please note that there are applications like the PC Notestaker software that can't save to files but can only communicate via the clipboard. When copying it should be configurable whether text,bitmap grafic of vector grafic or a bundle of all three should be put into the clipboard. The inkscape SVG editor should default to import the EMF vector grafic for pasting from Windows. Usually there is a combination of bitmap grafic/text/vector grafic available. On Windows for the paste option this is usually done with "paste special" where you can select which clipboard content should be pasted. The clipboard format should be configurable.

As it is the only alternative is to save a bitmap & paste it into office documents. At least, allowing to copy a bitmap image would be highly useful. Inkscape should integrate better with the system clipboard on Windows. Request: Integration with the System Clipboard StockLibraryInterface to avoid creating unneeded duplicates of things like referenced gradients when pasting into the same document. Question: should we handle SPUse specially?Įventually, we should look at things like taking advantage of e.g. When pasting, we just use the same bulk object copy facility to copy from the clipboard SPDocument to the destination document (which may or may not be the origin document). use some (currently unwritten) facility for bulk-copying SPObjects (see BulkObjectCopy) between documents with references intact to copy the object list to the clipboard document compile a list of objects and their dependencies (eliminating duplicates - see DependencyTracking)ģ. When object(s) are copied to the clipboard, we should:ġ. I think the best way to handle the clipboard is to make it an SPDocument in its own right.
