Shouldn't applications be doing what the user asks them to rather than being smart? Selecting and middle click pasting an image works now. If the user selects it, should the application really assume that they don't want to paste it? Of course, it might still turn out that users don't select things often enough that the overhead would be a big issue.

This does happen currently though (I tested it earlier today).
> But copying it into a hundred formats isn't something you should do for every selection of any random thing (or ever, but if you do...).
I changed that aspect of the proposal in a previous comment - in the new version a file containing a single mime type (with a well-known magic number) is saved to disk. To handle conversions, a (large) set of filters is installed on the system, and the application reading the clipboard must iterate through the installed filters to find ones which convert the file to a format it can use. This is roughly what BeOS did, which apparently worked well (or so I am told by a colleague who developed for BeOS).
Posted Nov 19, 2010 22:13 UTC (Fri) by i3839 (guest, #31386) [Link]
Well, the problem is that for complex types you can't easily convert from one to the other, because only the program doing the copying has all the info.
Example: If you copy a bit of a webpage, it can be either plain text, the raw HTML code, or formatted text depending on the style etc. Converting to plain text is almost always possible, but anything else doesn't really work. So a single mime type isn't always sufficient.
There are two sides to a copy and paste system: The program ABI to do the copying and pasting, and the system ABI how it's actually done. I think the latter shouldn't be set in stone, only the former, to keep the implementation flexible. So all copying and pasting should happen through the system installed copy&paste library, or the copy and paste programs (simple front-ends for the lib).
(I still haven't found to start implementing this, hopefully next week.)
Posted Nov 22, 2010 14:52 UTC (Mon) by michaeljt (subscriber, #39183) [Link]
Actually the idea was that the application doing the copying provided the data in its native/internal format, which by definition should have all the information. It could always define an x- or a vnd. mime format for this and provide whatever converters it wanted to transform that data into other formats (they could probably double up as export filters too).
> Example: If you copy a bit of a webpage, it can be either plain text, the raw HTML code, or formatted text depending on the style etc. Converting to plain text is almost always possible, but anything else doesn't really work. So a single mime type isn't always sufficient.
In this case the native format is presumably "text/html", which should be convertable to either plain text or formatted text without the copying application even having to provide its own converters.
Posted Nov 25, 2010 21:44 UTC (Thu) by i3839 (guest, #31386) [Link]
For images and other data formats with an obvious raw format are much easier and better suited for automatic convertion. That can be done automatically without changing the API.
Posted Nov 25, 2010 21:56 UTC (Thu) by michaeljt (subscriber, #39183) [Link]
Just for interest I copied some text in Firefox and ran my clipboard format viewer. Here are the results:
$ ../tmp/viewclipformats Found clipboard format: TIMESTAMP Found clipboard format: TARGETS Found clipboard format: MULTIPLE Found clipboard format: text/html Found clipboard format: text/_moz_htmlcontext Found clipboard format: text/_moz_htmlinfo Found clipboard format: UTF8_STRING Found clipboard format: COMPOUND_TEXT Found clipboard format: TEXT Found clipboard format: STRING Found clipboard format: text/x-moz-url-priv
Without knowing, it wouldn't surprise me if one of those contained both the html and the formatting information, which I think should be feasible with my proposal too.
Posted Nov 26, 2010 22:26 UTC (Fri) by michaeljt (subscriber, #39183) [Link]
You also have to ask, when an application puts HTML data into the clipboard, what data it is actually putting there. When I select a section of text, pictures and whatever in Firefox and copy I get HTML data in the clipboard. But Firefox can't just put the source of the document from the point where the selection begins to the point where it ends into the clipboard, as it is announcing HTML data, and as you point out, that wouldn't be HTML, it would be broken HTML. So Firefox has no choice but to massage the HTML data anyway, and if it is doing that already, adding the style information inline is no great hardship.
Of course, if you want to reuse that data as is as HTML for some other web page then you are probably out of luck, but if you think of it that makes no sense anyway - if you want to do that you should probably be copying the source of the HTML as plain text. If you select and copy part of a page in Firefox, chances are that what you are actually about to do is to paste it either as plain text (the text visible on the page, not the HTML source) or as formatted text into e.g. OpenOffice.
And if you were copying the data inside some visual HTML editor, it would probably still not make sense for the editor to insert the data as naive HTML - chances are there would be no way to paste the data in any form resembling the source of the page the editor was generating, and in any case, if you were trying to get at the generated source it would make more sense to ask the editor directly than copying and pasting to get at it. In fact I would expect the visual editor to use some internal format which was not valid HTML at all when copying to the clipboard, but which another instance of the editor would know what to do with when pasting it. It might provide a filter to convert it to HTML, but not for the purposes of viewing the source - you don't use the clipboard for that - but rather as a stepping stone for converting it to OOXML or something else.
Hope that made sense, as I am rather short of sleep currently. I would really like to be clear that I am not trying to argue for the sake of arguing here, but rather because responding to the points you make forces me to think things through myself.
Posted Nov 27, 2010 10:39 UTC (Sat) by i3839 (guest, #31386) [Link]
Same here, we're trying to figure out if a list of formats is really needed, or if always providing only one and having convertors is sufficient. This choice determines the API, so it's pretty important.
Only having one format and providing convertors is simpler, but less complete. My main concern is that it's not always sufficient, or that it makes implementing copy harder than necessary for some applications, because they have to create one "complete" format and convertors.
Another concern is that you convert from simple->complex->simple, when also supporting a complex type, hoping that the "simple" in the end is the same as what you started with. So the unrelated complex type makes simple types more complex too, with too much room for errors in my opinion. Or in other words, copying simple types is not simple anymore, if you also copy a complex one.
Lastly, I don't really see a way to support multiple types when pasting. It should be the pasting program's decision what type to paste, if it supports multiple types. I don't see another way than supporting a list of types in the pasting API anyway, and then you can as well support lists in the copy API too.
I think you make too many assumptions about what the user or pasting program expects in your line of thinking.
All in all I think the automatic convertion idea is good, but not always sufficient. Combined with today's multiple format support in applications, I think it's best to support multiple formats, but to encourage convertor usage when possible.
Then when someone pastes something the lists are compared, and if they have no common format, a convertor is used.
A list of formats is basically "more of the same", so I think the added complexity, both for the API and implementation, is small enough.
Now we just have to find some time to implement this. I think I'll give it a stab next week. I'll keep you informed (my email address is firstname.lastname@example.com).

The quality of the rug is fine, but the size of the rug is misrepresented. We ordered the 9x12, but it is clearly only about 9x11. We ordered specific rug pads 9x12 and now we have to cut them to fit the rug. We were disappointed that we did not get a 9x12 rug.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Stays wet for a long time. Not really an outdoor rug in my opinion. Beautiful though.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Its hard to believe that this could be an outdoor rung - it is so good looking. We have it in our guest bedroom, that will be occupied full-time for at least a year, and it is perfect. We have the blue rug, and the colors are richer than they look on the website, and it seems just fine on my feet (I'm not walking on it everyday). A great value.

The Plot (Magill's Guide to Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature)
A prize-winning boar named Major has a dream that he shares with the other animals of Manor Farm one night after the drunken farmer who owns the farm, Mr. Jones, has fallen asleep. Major advises the animals to reject misery and slavery and to rebel against Man, "the only real enemy we have." The rebellion, on Midsummer's Eve, drives Mr. Jones and his men off the farm.
Major draws up Seven Commandments of Animalism to govern the newly named Animal Farm, stipulating that "whoever goes on two legs is our enemy," that "all animals are equal," and that they shall not wear clothes, sleep in beds, drink alcohol, or kill any other animal. The pigs quickly assume a supervisory position to run the farm, and two of them, Snowball and Napoleon, become leaders after the death of old Major. Factions develop, and Napoleon conspires against Snowball after the animals defeat an attempt by Mr. Jones and the neighboring farmers to recover the farm at the Battle of the Cowshed.
Snowball is a brilliant debater and a visionary who wants to modernize the farm by building a windmill that will provide electrification. Two parties are formed, supporting "Snowball and the three-day week" and "Napoleon and the full manger." Meanwhile, the pigs reserve special privileges for themselves, such as consuming milk and apples that are not shared with the others.
Napoleon raises nine pups to become his guard dogs. After they have grown, his...

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Manor Farm
Manor Farm. English farm at which the entire novel is set. When the novel opens, it is called Manor Farm and is run by a farmer named Jones. These names indicate that this farm stands for any farm, or any place, and that the entire novel should be read as an allegory. However, since Orwell wrote in the introduction to the Ukrainian edition that he wanted to expose the Soviet myth, Animal Farm also stands for the Soviet Union in particular. When the animals take over the farm, they rename it Animal Farm; when the pigs revert to the name Manor Farm in the final pages of the book, the complete failure of the animals' revolution is indicated. No animal leaves the farm unless it is a traitor (Molly), declared an enemy of the state (Snowball), or sold to the enemy to be killed (Boxer). When they do leave, the animals rewrite history. Animal Farm is like the Soviet Union in having its own official history that serves the purposes of its rulers.
Orwell's love of animals and his practice of raising his own vegetables and animals are clear in his loving description of the farm; his socialist politics come through in his sympathies with the animals as real workers and in his descriptions of the barn.
Farmhouse. House in which Jones originally lived. Like the farm, the farmhouse is perfectly ordinary, until the animals drive the humans from what the humans see as their rightful place....

Historical Context
Ever since Orwell wrote Animal Farm readers have enjoyed it as a simple animal story. While it is possible to read the book without being aware of the historical background in which Orwell wrote it, knowing the world's situation during the 1940s adds interest to the novel. The reader understands why the political implications of the book were so important to Orwell, and is encouraged to read the book again, looking for its less obvious political and societal references. As the date of the original publication of the work becomes more remote, the historical events that preceded it lose their immediacy, but Orwell's story remains viable. In fact, Orwell emphasized the universality and timelessness of his message by not setting the story in any particular era, and, while placing the farm in England, not making that fact important.
World War II
The target of Orwell's satire in Animal Farm was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (the U.S.S.R , or the Soviet Union), which at the time the work was written was a military ally of Great Britain during World War II. The book's publication was delayed until after fighting had ended on the war's European front in May 1945. When England declared war on Germany in September 1939, it would not have seemed likely that by the war's end England and the U.S.S.R. would be allies. Just a week before, the world community had been stunned by news of a Soviet-German nonaggression pact. Adolf Hitler...

The novel takes place on Manor Farm, which is renamed Animal Farm after the animals expel Mr. Jones, the farmer, from its grounds. It is a typical barnyard, except that the animals have assumed the farmer's tasks. Their aspirations are high; they write seven commandments on the wall of the bam, including "All animals are created equal," and "Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy," and thus stake their claim. They build a windmill—an object of much contention—that is rebuilt several times after being destroyed by a storm and then by a band of farmers with dynamite. Originally, the animals pledge to preserve the manor house as a museum, but as the power structure becomes more unbalanced, the pigs move into the house, which becomes their domain. The farmhouse symbolizes the new totalitarian rule of the pigs and is indeed indicative of the "revised" commandment: "All animals are created equal but some animals are more equal than others." Orwell, by restricting all the action to the farmyard, creates a microcosm of society.

Literary Style
Point of View
The third-person point of view traditionally used for fables and fairy tales is the one Orwell chooses for Animal Farm, his tale of an animal rebellion against humans in which the pigs become the powerful elite. The storyteller in this case, as is also typical of the fable, tells the reader only what is needed to follow the story and the bare minimum about each character, without overt commentary. Orwell focuses on the bewilderment of the simple beasts—the horses, birds, and sheep—in the face of their manipulation by the pigs, eliciting sympathy from the reader.
Animal Farm takes place at an unspecified time on a British farm near Willingdon, a town that is mentioned only in passing. The farm is first called Manor Farm, later renamed Animal Farm and, finally, Manor Farm once more. Manor— which can mean the land overseen by a lord, the house of a lord, or a mansion—associates the farm with the upper, or ruling, class. Orwell focuses entirely on activities taking place at the farm, except for a brief scene in Willingdon when Jones asks his neighbors to help him. By keeping a narrow focus, Orwell makes the location in England unimportant.
The narrator in the novel functions as a storyteller, telling a fable Orwell gives the fable ironic overtones by using a naive narrator, one who refuses to comment on events in the novel that the reader understands to...

Literary Techniques
Throughout his career, Orwell is generally considered to have matured both creatively and perceptively as a writer, yet he never warranted nor received critical recognition as a literary innovator. His personalized blend of moral commitment and social commentary distinguished Orwell as a major spokesperson for his generation; however, his body of work is remarkably similar in structure and temperament. An extremely disciplined writer, Orwell consistently utilized language to enhance the development of plot while providing insight into thematic concerns. This is especially true in Animal Farm, an imaginative examination of the interaction of language and political method.
Written in a pure, subtle, and simplistic form of narrative, Animal Farm evokes both descriptive imagery and stunning clarity of purpose. As political allegory, Animal Farm was conceived as a beast fable, the ideal form for Orwell to communicate his highly sensitive and unorthodox message. In so doing Orwell was able to employ irony as the most effective means to articulate the embodiment of human traits in the animals of the farm. Interspersed with religious overtones, the novel begins with a relatively light tone before depreciating into a menacing and debilitating void. Coming full circle, the novel ends with a tremendous sense of futility and loss as even the memory of the revolution fades into quiet and passive oblivion. oLiterary Precedents

Literary Qualities
An extremely disciplined writer, Orwell consistently used language to enhance the development of plot while providing insight into thematic concerns. This is especially true in Animal Farm, an imaginative examination of the interaction of language and political method. Written in a pure, subtle, and simplistic style, Animal Farm evokes descriptive imagery and stunning clarity of purpose. Although the novel begins with a relatively light tone, it gradually evolves into a menacing and debilitating void. Coming full circle, the novel ends with a tremendous sense of futility and loss as even the memory of the revolution fades into quiet and passive oblivion.
Orwell conceived of Animal Farm as an allegorical beast fable, drawing on a literary convention attributed to Aesop and dating from the seventh century B.C. Popular in almost every literary period, the beast fable is most often designed to satirize human folly as well as to provide moral instruction. An avid reader, Orwell was undoubtedly influenced by the work of the seventeenth-century French writer La Fontaine and in his own century by Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book and Just So Stories.
Orwell clearly descends from an impressive lineage of English satirists, particularly those of the eighteenth century including Dryden, Swift, and Pope. Animal Farm is consistently and appropriately compared to Swift's Gulliver's Travels as having the capacity...

Social Concerns
During the mid-1930s, Orwell like many of his literary contemporaries became increasingly aware of the social and political concerns of the age. Clearly a turning point for Orwell, this period would ultimately define his artistic purpose and direction as a writer and simultaneously crystallize his prophetic vision of the future. Deeply affected as a young man by the social injustice he encountered in Burma, Orwell entered the decade in direct opposition to the doctrine of imperialism which fostered aristocratic privilege at the expense of the poor and disadvantaged. By 1936, this perspective would be radically altered, transforming Orwell into one of England's most prominent political writers.
Commissioned by Victor Gollancz to write a book on the conditions of the unemployed in the industrial north of England, Orwell began what was intended as a study on poverty. The result, however, was The Road to Wigan Pier, published in 1937, which is best described as an expose of the English class structure and the first significant identification of Orwell with the ideology of socialism. This was followed by Orwell's investigative journey to Spain and his subsequent involvement in the Spanish Civil War. Undoubtedly, this experience had a profound impact on Orwell, confirming his inherent belief in human decency and community as well as deepening his political commitment to democratic socialism. Adversely, however, Orwell returned from Spain with a fervent...

Topics for Further Study
Research a current political scandal on the state, local, or national level, or one from the past (such as Watergate or Tammany Hall). Develop a brief animal allegory of the main figures involved, using some of the same animals found in Orwell's novel.
Using examples from classic animal fables, report on how Orwell's novel conforms and/or deviates from features found in those you've investigated.
Analyze how Squealer manipulates language to get the animals to go along with him, then watch the evening news or read periodicals to find similar uses of language in speeches or press releases from contemporary politicians.

Similar in thematic content to Animal Farm, Nineteen Eighty-Four is both an indictment of political oppression and a vigorous attack on the corruption of language. Throughout the novel, Orwell is relentless in his disparaging analysis of totalitarian society. More impressive, however, is his ability to demonstrate the use of language as a tool of government to exercise and ensure control over its people. Deprived of access to their historical and cultural traditions, the inhabitants of Orwell's world become enslaved to the immediacy of existence.
Animal Farm was made into an animated cartoon in 1954, directed and produced by John Halas and Joy Batchelor and released by Louis de Rochemont Associates. Presented as a full-length adult satire, the film was considered an artistically successful rendering of Orwell's book made into vivid and realistic animation. A superb creative achievement, the film is executed with technical precision and visual brilliance, distinctly reminiscent of the "Disney" style. The thematic elements of Orwell's novel remain consistent in the film and quite possibly are enhanced by the striking contrast of presenting political satire in the medium of cartoon.

Excellent value with warm tone and strong volume.
The Washburn WD100DL is a steel string acoustic guitar that features a mahogany top and dreadnought size, making it ideal for both practice and performance.
Mahogany is dark-colored wood that, when used as a guitar soundboard, creates a warm, full tone with a character all its own. The WD100DL also features mahogany back and sides that further help to balance out the powerful low- and high-end inherent to the dreadnought body shape. The result is a sound that's both pleasing and loud enough to be heard in small venue without amplification.
The Washburn WD100DL has a full-length 25-1/2" mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard. Other appointments include a rosewood bridge, vintage style headstock, die-cast tuners, and a gig bag.
*Note: Restock version does not have Washburn flower logo on headstock.
Enjoy the tone and projection of this value-packed dreadnought. Order today.

Great for my picky eater!
I've used Solid Gold products before and have been very pleased with their quality. I've just started feeding this so it's a little early to see any benefits, but it does have a very pleasant aroma and my picky eater seems to eat much better with it sprinkled over his food.

Don't know what region? Try map view
The sheltered coast of this area – the Italian Riviera - offers a laid-back atmosphere and some of Italy's finest beaches as well as warm weather all year around. The scenery is dramatic, with mountains dropping straight down to the sea. The area has a traditional link to the sea, Genoa being the home of Christopher Columbus and still the country's largest port. The untouched North West of Italy offers fantastic skiing on the Alps, playing host to the 2006 Winter Olympics. Peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn gradually give way to rolling green pine forests at their feet. The area's climate and temperament owe much to neighbouring Switzerland, with excellent cheese and truffles on the menu locally. The 'gateway to Italy' – Turin – is famed for its industry, especially the Fiat cars it produces, but it also offers gorgeous Baroque architecture and wide streets and squares. The city stands on the Po, and enjoys a fresh alpine climate.

Although Durbin doesn't mind taking on academic challenges — she boasts a perfect GPA and has several advanced placement credits to her name — her real passion lies in performing.
Alyssa Durbin, daughter of Lori and Mark Durbin, is the Mid-Continent University Teen of the Week. Each Monday, the Sun features a different MCU Teen of the Week selected from nominees who guidance counselors throughout western Kentucky and southern Illinois submit to the Sun. Mid-Continent University will provide each Teen of the Week with a $2,500 annual scholarship to its university, which is renewable for four years. In the spring, a Teen of the Year will be chosen from the weekly winners. The Teen of the Year is eligible for a full four-year scholarship to Mid-Continent University or a cash award of $2,500, paid through the Paducah Sun, if the student selects another college to attend.
Durbin was selected by audition to the Governor's School for the Arts, where she studied musical theater. The residential summer program in Lexington gives more than 200 high school students in Kentucky the opportunity to study their chosen art form, free of charge, for three weeks. Durbin said her participation in GSA gave her a better idea of the career options available to her.
The performer is already making forays into the teaching field. She currently works at the Mainstage School of Performing Arts in Lone Oak, where she instructs children aged 8 to 11.
Durbin admires the innocence of youth — "I'm a big 5-year-old inside," she said — and urges those she teaches to enjoy their childhoods while they can.
For Durbin, the performing arts also offer a way to connect with others on a spiritual level.
"The only thing stronger than her voice is her faith," said Stephanie Carter, a Lone Oak High School English teacher.
An active member of Lone Oak First Baptist Church, Durbin incorporates her faith into her artistic pursuits through mission programs such as the Christian Theater Camp in Atlanta.
"It was so rewarding to see them get to learn," Durbin said of the children she worked with during the mission trip.
She plans to open a Christian musical theater school after she has completed her own performance career — possibly as a greeter at Disney World.
"I want to use my gifts to inspire people and make them feel good," she said.
Call Laurel Black, a Paducah Sun staff writer, at 270-575-8641.
Teen of the Week
— Nominations are accepted only from guidance counselors.
— If you are interested in the scholarship program, contact your guidance counselor.
— Nominations are reviewed by The Paducah Sun.
