Clipboard with Image through RDP?

[g0rdonL]

One of my main uses of winapps is using OneNote as there is no native client of it on linux. I often want to clip images from my host onto my OneNote but I couldn't do that for now. Clipboard can now copy/paste both ways but that is limited to text and not images. Cheers!

Hi @g0rdonL

I believe the +clipboard flag for xfreerdp3 is enabled but I'm not sure if it's capable to copy image from RDP and if it plays well under Wayland, see the following upstream issue regarding this topic :

• Image clipboard not working in xfreerdp 3.0.0 beta FreeRDP/FreeRDP#9467

It seems, the format from Windows (bmp or tiff is not compatible out of the box with the format supported by xclip (png) under X11 at least, AFAIK)

1. Are you under X11 or Wayland, what is your desktop environment ?
2. If you're on X11, please paste the output of xclip -o -t TARGETS -selection clipboard

There has been reports online that image pasting works but it's not clear, it's a bit spotty for some it works, for some it doesn't : https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/16mmzpe/remminardp_alternative_with_image_clipboard/

I haven't tried on my side but I'm running KDE Plasma 6 Wayland, if I give this a try and it works, I'll let you know

@g0rdonL please let us know the exact version of freerdp you are using, this isn't a bug upstream, this works on latest versions, but require freerdp 3.X and build with proper build flags (I'm still investigating which ones exactly)

Here is mine for instance (haven't tested but will do so most likely by this week-end) and leave an updated comment :
