Last change on this file since 1436 was 1436, checked in by bnemhaus, 5 years ago

Added the ability to copy/paste recognised files (mostly images) into Expeditee. This functionality already existed when drag n dropping, but now also works when using copy/paste.

At this stage, recognised files get imported as a approapriate Text Item. For example, a image will create a @i Text Item and attach it to your cursor. Ideally this would be the image directly. Unfortunately, items attached to the cursor (FreeItems) are not currently parsed. This is something I will discuss with David as there are confounding issues to consider. For example: surrogates...

Attached to the bottom of this commit message are my current thoughts.

Also made it so when creating a @i through DND or Copy/Paste, that @i is as relative as possible. The users image directories setting is used to achieve this.


  • FreeItems need to be parsed...we would need to deal with primaries/surrogates in them...
  • Do we want FreeItems to be parsed? If I attach an item to my cursor and then enter surrogate mode, should it change?
  • My gut says no. Both because it would be work, and also because it kind of feels like a free win if we do not.
  • But we do want to replace @i with images etc. Therefore, we want an old style parse for FreeItems?
