At 04:33p -0500 11/07/2003, Marc K. Myers didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:
Classic and OS X (10.2.8) don't seem to recognize each other's
clipboards. This is very inconvenient. Is there a way to use
AppleScript to transfer cut or copied data from one to the other?
I've scripted Tex-Edit plus to transfer text but I'd like to be able
to handle application-specific and graphic selections.
If I understand it correctly, this is more a Cocoa vs. Carbon issue
than a Classic vs. OS X issue; the pasteboard types that can be
translated are hardcoded into the OS, so if there are any types you
need converted between Cocoa and Carbon that are not converted, you
send a bug report to Apple to request the particular types.
The reason you can use Tex-Edit Plus is that it is Carbon, and thus
no conversion is necessary.
