G'day Daniel

Under Lion, get the clipboard works so long as the clipboard only contains text.

If it contains an image, it freezes.

Even wrapping it in a tell Finder or tell System Events does not work.

try
tell application "Finder"
set theClip to (get the clipboard)--< freezes on this if image
display dialog theClip
end tell
on error errmsg number errnum
display dialog errmsg & return & errnum
end try


Regards

Santa

How can I find if there is something on the clipboard in SL and Lion?
In Leopard I used:

get the clipboard

In SL and Lion it's broken.

Works here, Lion 10.7.3
