Shared Clipboard and Graphics

[RH44]

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!

The VirtualBox shared clipboard ONLY supports text.

Well that would explain it and I'll stop beating my head against the wall! Thank you very much for the quick response.

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.
