(Get the code!)
Here is what I found:
inkscape->gimp: pastes ok but as a path. I guess it's because gimp takes the EMF (vectorial) data instead of the bitmap data. You can see this with the clipboard viewer (screenshots attached). Inkscape stores clipboards copies in a wide range of formats, so gimp should be trained to take the bitmap instead of the vector. When trying to create a new bitmap from clipboard gimp says there is no raster data in it.
Question to the developers: why there are so many formats grayed-out in the drop-down menu of my attached screenshots?
gimp->inkscape: pastes ok both layers or selections (when there is one). Paths are also ok.
>* copy from gimp and paste to mypaint keep transparency, then I suppose this is a specific inkscape bug
I think it's in gimp. When pasting between raster applications the only available data is in bitmap. Is gimp the one confused when vector and bitmap are offered to it (as Inkscape does). Could you tip gimp devs about this?
Regards.
