Clipboard Not Working for Pictures
Is it me (and insufficient knowledge of Windows XP) or what? I don't seem to be able to cut and paste photos from my Mac OS X clipboard onto Windows XP. My setup does show "bidirectional," but this feature is not working either direction for photos (it does work for text). I am using VirtualBox 2.2.2 and have Guest Additions installed (the latter after some forum help). Thanks for whatever inspiration you can provide. Roger

Re: Clipboard Not Working for Pictures
File copy is not supported only Clipboard. If you could copy the file to the clipboard it would work, but a file copy/paste does not go to the clipboard.
If you want to be able to do file copy between host and guest you would need to share a folder and then copy and paste will work as long as it is going to a shared device, like a shared drive.
