#8 Support for clipboard objects other than plaintext

[Anonymous]

This program only replicates a tiny subset of the
Windows clipboard. It does not work with formatted
text, images, etc.

This is a know issue, and one i hope to be able to address
before the 1.0 release.

The main problem is not really with getting MIME-typed
contents out of/into the clipboard (though some things like
formatted text or vector graphics will be tricky), but
rather transporting what is usually a large volume of data
across the network. One of the goals for 0.70/0.80 is to
implement a connected protocol based on TCP that would
enable pushing large amounts of data to clients over a
reliable connections. You can expect image support shortly
thereafter.

I'm yet unsure whether QT can handle generic mimetypes well
enough to handle them in a black-box fashion. I think i
might have to resort to platform-specific tweaks here and there.
