Hey, Tom, What do you mean by supporting those formats? Most of the apps I listed are text only - if I copy a png and try to paste it into a text field, what should happen? Do you have a bug report describing the kind of behaviour you want fixed? Sorry for all the questions, it just sounds like an interesting problem I know nothing about :) Thanks for the info! -Sarah <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 2:59 PM, Ted Gould <<a href="mailto:ted@ubuntu.com">ted@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">On Mon, 2010-04-05 at 13:36 -0400, Sarah Strong wrote: > I'm a bit concerned that the overwhelming ubiquity of this bug means > maybe we should be tackling it by adding > glipper/klipper/parcellite/clipman to Ubuntu by default, instead. What > do you guys think? </div>I think that fixing the Apps makes the most sense, and that also this kind of project makes a lot of sense for the Ubuntu SoC as it involves the integration of Apps (which is what distros do). I'm curious if it doesn't make more sense to instead of focusing on a large number of apps (in your plan 12 -- which seemed reasonable) in just getting the cut-exit-paste working to also focus on a set of basic formats. Something like: all apps should support text, html and png. I think that if we could say that every app in Main supported cut-exit-paste and those three formats it would be a leap forward and making cut-and-paste actually work for most users. I'm not saying that all Apps in Main should be one SoC though -- depends on how many are broken. --Ted </blockquote></div>
