About pbproxy
-------------
pbproxy is an application that transfers selections to/from X11
and the Mac pasteboard/clipboard.
It supports copying strings, such as UTF-8, Latin-1, and Compound
text. In addition to those, there is support for image copying,
so you can copy images to/from the X11 Gimp (and other X11
applications that support image copying) and Mac applications.
There is also support for copying and pasting very large amounts
of data that used to previously fail.
Downloads
---------
The binaries with an easy to use installer:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~gstaplin/pbproxy_test-13.tar.bz2
http://people.freedesktop.org/~gstaplin/pbproxy_test-13.tar.bz2.md5
Sources
-------
The sources to pbproxy are available from the X.org git tree in branch
xorg-server-1.4-apple.
Installation
------------
There is an easy to use install.sh (see the README.txt included in the
tarball).
It uses a slightly modified version of quartz-wm (with a fixed
--no-pasteboard).
install.sh will backup your previous quartz-wm.
Please make sure you restart X11 after install.sh
Problems or Success Stories
---------------------------
I'm especially interested in cases where copy/paste used to previously
leak memory, not work, or corrupt data. Please see the README.txt for
examples of how it works. It's quite easy to use.
Please report any problems or success stories to this list or via
email: gstaplin at apple.com
Enjoy,
George
