Hello,
Anyone have trouble copying things to the clipboard using PerlTK's
->clipboardAppend...? When I use it to put things in the clipboard, I
cannot paste the contents into other OSX apps like Textedit. The
"Paste" option is available in the application, however no data appears
when one pastes.
Correct. Quartz and X11 have different (actually, at least 3)
clipboard systems that aren't shared. You can get around this by using
"copy" in the X11.app munbar at the top of the screen. but in order to
manage this clipboards entirely from within X11 (TK), you're going to
need help. See the xcutsel application that's part of the standard X11
build, or autocutsel from Fink. Alternatively, you can use XDarwin
instead of the Apple X11 port. Recent versions of XDarwin synchronize
the clipboards...most of the time. Note that Quartz does a good job of
reading the X11 clipboard. Items cut in X11 should be available to
Quartz apps. It's just doesn't work the other way around.
HTH,

if it is possible to synchronize the clipboards... perhaps this can be
done when the PerlTK methods which add or retrieve data from the
clipboard are called? Perhaps the developers of PerlTK can address this
issue...?
