Pasting text and images together

[Paul Dupuis]

Your right. Something about the rawClipboardData fails with an error. 
Trying the fullClipboardData (code below) works. My guess is that there 
may be something about the first key (on my Windows system that is 
"text/html" where the slash is causing an error?  I'd need to look at it 
further - perhaps skip that key and try others. This may be a bug that 
may be worth reporting in the LC Quality center. You might get what you 
want from the fullClipboardData (below)


on mouseUp pMouseButton
   local n=1
   lock clipboard
   --
   put the keys of the fullClipboardData into myK3  ## THIS WORKS
   --
   repeat for each line k in myK3
     try
       put the fullClipboardData[k] into temp[n]  ## DOESN’T WORK
     catch myError
       put myError into e4[n] ## ERROR IS TRIGGERED
     end try
     add 1 to n
   end repeat
   unlock clipboard
end mouseUp
