A: At this moment there are no applications that I know of that
would make this possible. So support for this in GCM is held back.
In future I hope that this will be possible. This, however, highly
depends on other applications and their ability to share clipboards
and data. Of course it's already possible to copypaste chunks of
HTML-code but if your question is : Will the images that are embedded
in this HTML-page get copypasted too then the answer is : this depends
on the application that will recive the selected text. It's not the
responsibility of GCM to convert such selections to for example an Office
document. Or convert some Spreadsheat-data from Gnummeric to some HTML-text
with tables. I hope that the developpers of those/such applications wan't to
help me with these possibilities. I would be more then happy to make
support for such operations. These operations, however, depend a lot
on the applications. And yes I know that all this is possible in Ms.
Windows. If you like that : uninstall your Unix and install Ms. Windows.
I know that one big issue here is, that the X clipboard mecanism was never
designed for such usage. Oh well.. i386 was never designed for Multimedia
applications too .. so I don't really care. I just want something like that
working under my favorite Operating System.
