clipboardData["image"] by file reference

[Hugh Senior]

Thank you, Klaus.

It seems LC cannot parse an in-line binfile reference so a variable is needed...

on mouseUp
   get the fileName of img 1
   set the clipboardData["image"] to url("binfile:" & it)
end mouseUp

All working now.

Hugh

Same with LC Create DP9 on macOS.
