I am running on a Mac and the clipboard seems to work in my program on text just fine. The problem is when I copy an image to the clipboard it doesn't seem to copy. If I copy an image to the clipboard then I try to paste it I get what was on the clipboard previously (text). Does wine not support syncing images or files to the clipboard (besides text)? Any workaround to this?

As far as I know, Wine can only copy and paste text data right now. Copying and pasting image data in just Wine apps may work.

The problem is when I copy an image to the clipboard it doesn't seem to copy.Known issue with Macs. Another reason to get a Aqua native version of Wine working (and that is a long way off.) Otherwise, Mac Users might have to use a different program to get the copy to work and then over to Wine. I'll have to look at this or maybe doh123 can try to figure out what needs to be done.

I've never tried copy and pasting anything but text in Wine... not sure I have any apps to run in Wine to easily test pictures. Xquartz itself should sync the pasteboard and clipboard if the options are set right in preferences and work fine. Gimp running in Xquartz for me is copy and pasting pictures fine.. in and out of X11. Make sure you have Xquartz 2.5.3 (latest release) and that you have its preferences under Pasteboard to enable syncing and all the options checked. Theoretically it should work with Wine just fine...

I can copy and paste just fine between GIMP in X11 and Pages and TextEdit.... back and forth No one should be using Wine with Apple's X11. If they are, they should be told to get Xquartz just like people running old versions of Wine are told to get the latest version. Since 10.6, a normal Xquartz install wont replace Apple's version anymore, you can have both.... so Apple updates and such don't break it like in 10.5.

I can copy and paste pictures and text both, yes.

[Wine] Re: Clipboard Syncing (does wine sync images or files)?
This is a problem with an application I develop, so I can't expect users to upgrade their X11 or do complicated stuff. I packaged Wine and everything into a nice little bundle so it's easy. If I have them install and config a ton of stuff nobody will ever use it. I'm running the latest updates on 10.6 and I can't get images to sync so i'm pretty sure that the funcationaly isn't in the OS X X11 yet. Maybe when it gets updated I'll get the functionality but until then I'll just have to disable it on the Mac bundle.
