Pasteboard issue


  • Subject: Pasteboard issue

Hi all,

I am having a strange problem with the Pasteboard for NSStringTypes. --

Quick background on my app.

I have a System Preference which controls whether or not to show my NSStatusItem.
When my NSStatusItem is visible to the user, they have an option to copy a string in a text field to the pasteboard automatically.
The NSStatusItem is background only application set with the LSUIElement in my NSStatusItem's info.plist.


This is all working fine, however, when my status Item is not active, the string that is copied to the pasteboard goes away.
In trouble shooting the problem I have narrowed the issue down to a call I am making from my System Pref to launch my Status Item:


[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchAppWithBundleIdentifier: [appBundle bundleIdentifier]
options:NSWorkspaceLaunchWithoutActivation
additionalEventParamDescriptor:NULL
launchIdentifier:nil]


For whatever reason when I launch my application with this call - during the normal use of the status item - the data copied to the pasteboard disappears when my status item is not active.

If I use:

[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchApplication:appPath]

Everything works fine. The string data is copied to the pasteboard regardless of active status.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Kam
