[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-150) onclipboard event doesn't fire on non-text clipboard data

["Michael Jumper (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-150?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15785860#comment-15785860 ] 

Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-150:
------------------------------------------

Thanks for reporting this, however this is a bug - that functionality is simply not implemented, even though the framework for supporting this exists at both the protocol and API levels.

There was an initial attempt to get client-side support for non-test data working (in this case, images specifically) via GUACAMOLE-55 ([GUAC-1547|https://glyptodon.org/jira/browse/GUAC-1547]), but that was partially reverted for the sake of release stability (GUACAMOLE-82).

The original issue, GUACAMOLE-55, was re-opened and development on that will resume. There are, however, complicated browser-specific quirks which make this non-trivial.

> When clipboard data is selected in remote client, the event onclipboard should fire in {{Guacamole.Client}} object. However, this does not happen for non-text clipboard data.
> Previous versions explicitly supported only text in the clipboard. Starting from 0.9.10 version there is a code in {{app/client/types/ManagedClient.js}} , function {{onclipboard}}, that handles both textual and binary data. However, it still works only for textual data.
> The change is introduced by commit 8c54461 , but it seems that binary clipboard data isn't introduced in the server code also. The guacd reports the following when non-textual data is selected:
> guacd\[779\]: INFO:	Ignoring unsupported clipboard data
> This looks misleading to me, as it gives the wrong impression that functionality exists. I believe it should be aligned, either by finishing implementation in server or removing non-functional implementation from client.
