Was trying to use win32clipboard to do the copy paste operations for text (till now), and was able to do it with ease.But now am wondering how does the copy/paste operations would be accomplished for folders/files etc through that. I am using python to achieve the same. Could not also find any relevant formats for that. Is it something like file path gets copied and then paste operation identifies clipboard data as file path and then actually does the file copy? No clue :(.
