[Xquartz-dev] pbproxy - a copy/paste proxy for XQuartz

[George Peter Staplin]

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.


o Is it for me?

If you currently experience problems with the existing copy/paste code  
in XQuartz or would like to copy images, then give this a try.   
pbproxy probably will solve the problems.

o Sources

The sources to pbproxy are currently in the git repository for the 1.4  
apple branch of the X.org xserver.


o Thanks

Thanks to Apple, and especially (in no particular order) Jeremy  
Huddleston, and Jordan K. Hubbard this project has been improved, and  
made possible.

Enjoy,

George
