Hi Sebas, Sure. My usecase is the same as file managers for cut/copy/paste. Take dolphin as an example. I want to be able to paste any files that are in my clipboard. Also i have some file/folder representations so i obviously want to cut or copy those as well. So what i would need is access to the clipboard content (paste) and putting content on the clipboard (cut/copy). All from QML. If that's done through a "QClipboard QML wrapper" made available in QML or through some other way made available in QML is the question. I have my fair share of knowledge about making C++ classes available in QML so i can take that route, i don't quite know the the route for the services and there is too little information available to start using it (the wiki link i mentioned is all i could find). Another requirement is drag/drop. If i drag files on my application it should paste the clipboard content. If you have more info to share about those services, please do :) Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
