XYplorer Beta Club

I forgot that there's an undocumented clipboard viewer in XY. Run this script from the XYplorer address bar after you copied your file from the VM: text <get clipboardformats <crlf>>; (Take care that you copy/paste the script to the XYplorer address bar *before* you copy the file, else you will change the clipboard)

XYplorer shows this:
DataObject
CF_HDROP
Ole Private Data

I used this tool:
https://freeclipboardviewer.com/

Here is the saved output:

Not much more than the file name

Attach images like this:

It's not an image. It's a special output saved from FreeClipboardViewer, which you can load and then see exact details. do you rather want an image?

Can you zip it and attach?

Attached

Thanks, that's really useful for testing. But to me the clipboard contents are mysterious. Seems incomplete. Maybe there is some kind of communication that only works in your environment. Anyway, the next beta (x64) will try to force the pasting to the shell, hoping it knows what to do with it.

Would that be only if it detects this type of scenario? I would like to keep "custom copy" checked

You can keep it checked. The solution will (or won't) work in all scenarios, incl. a simple Ctrl+V.
