Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / May 2006PerlTK's ->clipboardAppend in OSX...?
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. Additionally, I get the same results when I use the context menus for ->Scrolled to copy text to the clipboard? Apologies if this has been discussed before. Regards, > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > "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.

Perhaps the developers of PerlTK can address this issue...? |
