We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing class. Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with quick adoption :^)

clipboard - Data formats specific to Clipboard and drag & drop
|
|
|
|
## Clipboard
|
|
|
|
The clipboard feature works through the Clipboard server, which generally acts as a global storage or three things:
|
|
- a `DeprecatedString` mime type,
|
|
- a (potentially large) block of data, shared as an anonymous file,
|
|
- a `HashMap<DeprecatedString, DeprecatedString>` of arbitrary metadata, depending on the mime type.
|
|
|
|
See also [`Userland/Libraries/LibGUI/Clipboard.h`](../../../../../Userland/Libraries/LibGUI/Clipboard.h).
|
|
|
|
## Drag & drop
|
|
|
|
In contrast to the clipboard, the drag & drop feature works through WindowServer, and a bouquet of data is transmitted:
|
|
- a `[UTF8] DeprecatedString` to be displayed while dragging,
|
|
- a `HashMap<DeprecatedString, ByteBuffer>` map that contains arbitrary data for a variety of possible mime types,
|
|
- a `Gfx::ShareableBitmap` to be displayed while dragging
|
|
|
|
Drag & drop is most prominently supported by File Manager, Spreadsheet, and Terminal.
|
|
Various applications accept drag & drop to open files.
|
|
|
|
## glyph/x-fonteditor (Clipboard-only)
|
|
|
|
Requires the metadata-fields `count` (count of glyphs copied) and `first_glyph` (lowest codepoint that is copied), encoded as decimal strings.
|
|
|
|
The data contains code point (encoded as host-endian `u32`), width and height (as `u8`'s) and glyph bitmap data. It is encoded in width times height many bytes, either 0 (clear) or 1 (set).
|
|
|
|
Implemented in `FontEditor::MainWidget::copy_selected_glyphs` and `FontEditor::MainWidget::paste_glyphs`, in [`Userland/Applications/FontEditor/MainWidget.cpp`](../../../../../Userland/Applications/FontEditor/MainWidget.cpp).
|
|
|
|
## image/x-serenityos (Clipboard-only)
|
|
|
|
Requires the metadata-fields `width`, `height`, `scale`, `format` (see `Gfx::BitmapFormat`), and `pitch`, encoded as decimal strings.
|
|
|
|
The data is encoded according to `Gfx::determine_storage_format(BitmapFormat)`, so either as
|
|
`BGRx8888`, `BGRA8888`, `RGBA8888`, or 8-bit palette index. Note that the palette is not transferred.
|
|
|
|
Implemented in [`Clipboard::set_bitmap` and `Clipboard::DataAndType::as_bitmap()`](../../../../../Userland/Libraries/LibGUI/Clipboard.cpp).
|
|
|
|
## text/uri-list (Clipboard and drag & drop)
|
|
|
|
Newline-delimited set of URIs. Used by File Manager, `FileSystemModel`, and Terminal.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
file:///home/anon/Desktop/Browser
|
|
file:///home/anon/Desktop/Help
|
|
file:///home/anon/Desktop/Home
|
|
```
