Re: [B2-devel] [PATCH] More clipboard-related fixes for Basilisk / SheepShaver

[Ronald P. R. <ron...@xs...>]

Still not knowing what exactly is the issue with AppleWorks (and presumably ClarisWorks), I made two simple AppleScripts in MacOS9 that work for copying and pasting between AW in MacOS9 and applications in OSX. Both scripts work 100% in all situations I tried. The fact that these scripts work may be an indication of where the problem arises.

For copying a selection from MacOS9 AW with the intention to paste in OSX:

tell application "AppleWorks 6"
	activate
	copy to clipboard
end tell
tell application "SimpleText"
	activate
end tell
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
	activate
end tell

(The last activation of AW is not needed, but it brings back the application you are working in.)


For pasting in MacOS9 AW what was copied in OSX:

tell application "SimpleText"
	activate
end tell
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
	activate
	paste
end tell

More:

This does not work:

Copy text in MacOS AW -> paste in OSX TextEdit

But this works:

Copy text in MacOS AW -> quit AW -> paste in OSX TextEdit

And this works:

Copy text in MacOS AW -> show the copied text on the MacOS clipboard (MacOS Finder Edit menu) -> paste in OSX TextEdit

So:

> Or maybe CW/AW has its own private clipboard and are data shared between that private clipboard and the general MacOS clipboard when the general clipboard is used for either copying or pasting

Or is accessed in another way ("Show clipboard")

And when CW/AW is quit?

> That would work fine as long as copying and pasting would only be between applications inside MacOS, but between applications in the OSX host and CW/AW in the MacOS guest it would work only after pasting in a different application in MacOS and it would work without that only once when CW/AW is launched after text was copied in OSX. Exactly the behavior I see.
