copy to clipboard

[martinl90743871]

Hi community,

I'm working on a publish service and I'd like to use the goToPublishCollection menu (on the right click of a publish collection) to copy the remote URL into the clipboard.
I still didn't find any solution to do that. Neither in the SDK or in the usual LUA documentation...

Would you have any ideas? Is that possible with Lightroom_sdk?

Thnk you!
Cheers
Martin

You can't do this directly with the SDK. But your plugin could use LrTasks.execute() to invoke a command-line utility that will set the contents of the clipboard.  A quick Google suggests "pbcopy" on Mac and "clip.exe" on Windows.

It is working!! Thank you Jogn!
I don't think about LrTasks enough 🙂

Here is the solution in case somebody else want.

local copyCmd = "echo '"..info.remoteUrl.."' | pbcopy"

if prefs.os == "Windows" then

      copyCmd = "Echo "..info.remoteUrl.." | clip"

end

      LrTasks.execute(copyCmd)
