            Bug ID: 329925
           Summary: Use content negotiation to determine type of data to
                    transfer for the X Windows selection
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: hohyeis at eml.cc

Presently, when the selection can  be interpreted as either text or graphics,
Okular prompts the user with options to select text or graphics for the X
Windows selection or clipboard.

This  feature is to not prompt the user for what type to use for the clipboard
data, but instead to use the built in mechanism for content negotiation with
the application receiving the selection.
Here is some information about content negotiation.
