Description Brady Eidson 2012-03-19 09:14:17 PDT
REGRESSION (r107435) URLs copied from WebKit apps aren't in the right pasteboard format


In writeURLForTypes in PasteboardMac.mm

Before 107435:
if ([types containsObject:NSURLPboardType])
    [cocoaURL writeToPasteboard:pasteboard];

After 107435:
if (types.contains(String(NSURLPboardType)))
    platformStrategies()->pasteboardStrategy()->setStringForType([cocoaURL absoluteString], NSURLPboardType, pasteboardName);

URLs have to paste themselves to the pasteboard to get the right plist format the system expects.

Patch forthcoming.

In radar as <rdar://problem/10848575>

The change looks good to me but I'll let mac port folks take a look.

Summary should appear before the bug urls.
Also, people tend to put rdar and bugzilla urls on separate lines.

The patch is correct, but I think you could simplify it. There is no need to add a new message for webkit2, you can use the same message used to set the string type and implement a different behavior based on the pasteboard type.
This way you don't need to add a new message and you need no changes to platform strategies. The only changes required are in WebContextMac.mm in setPasteboardString.

I can see that being reasonable.  It will - unfortunately - make this mechanism asymmetrical as the "pasting app" fix in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/111080 added a new message.

I really wish we had the ability to message KURLs but adding that is outside the scope of this patch.

I'll do what you suggest.

I've done my ChangeLogs like this for years in hundreds of patches.  It's also not remotely difficult to find many other contributors who've done the same.

I actually don't believe we have style guidelines along these lines, and a cursory glance at past ChangeLogs show there is no standard in practice.

Is there some standard we are now trying to enforce and I've missed where it was discussed/published?

I had not seen the other patch. I wish I had a chance to chime in.

It just occurred to me that you can make it even simpler and just change PlatformPasteboard::setStringForType and hide that logic in there. But I'm fine either way.

In case you're wondering the failure gtk-ews reported for the first patch is bogus.

*LOL*  YUP.  I'm going to do it that way.
