I'm having any issue with the shared clipboard. It works fine with text (both Guest to Host and Host to Guest) but when I try to copy a graphic in either direction, it doesn't work. Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Re: Shared Clipboard and Graphics
The VirtualBox shared clipboard ONLY supports text.

Re: Shared Clipboard and Graphics
Virtual Box supports graphics as well. That applies when the host OS is Windows. I used that for Win7 hosts quite often, and I think it also works for Server 2008, and likely earlier windows versions. For the guests I used WinXP, Win7, Windows Server 2008R2.
I was able to share graphics from from host to guest(s) as well as from guest to host. Also I could directly share from guest to another guest. No problem at all.
Unfortunately I could not share graphics when I used the Linux edition of VirtualBox. I use VirtualBox 4.0.4 on Ubuntu now. Only text seems working in all directions.
