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
