I am trying to manipulate an attributed string from an NSTextView.
When I drag/drop or cut/paste an image into it say from Internet
Explorer... the pasteboard type is PICT... but when I send the
attributed string as email, (using the Message framework), it ends up
being an UNcompressed TIFF.
I was hoping someone had some advice for me as to how to maybe
manipulate the attributed string to make the images into JPG's or
something that a cross platform mail reader would understand and might
take less space.
Is it endemic to NSAttributedString to use TIFF? or is it
NSMailDelivery that's doing it?
Internet Explorer -> inline gif image -> drag pasteboard as PICT ->
NSTextView/NSTextStorage/NSAttributedString -> NSMailDelivery ->
Multi-part-mime message with TIFF attachments.
The text system currently converts incoming pasted images into attached
TIFF data in most cases. This behavior may change; it is possible that
in the future it will pay more attention to the type of data coming in.
You can manipulate this programmatically by changing the NSFileWrapper
associated to a given NSTextAttachment.
