I have tried 10 different Windows clipboard managers and none recognize certain automation data in an audio program (specifically automation node values in Cubase 8). InsideClipboard by NirSoft is a program that supposedly shows exactly what is currently in the clipboard. And yes it works with text, images, file lists and even XML audio clip data in Cubase. But my automation data, which I can successfully paste with ctrl+v, is shown as EMPTY in InsideClipboard.
Then, if in InsideClipboard I choose File/Clear, ctrl+v won't anymore work in Cubase. So InsideClipboard is able to clear the data but it still shows it as empty.
What I'm trying to accomplish is I want several contents of clipboard which I can recall with a script. But I can't recall any because no clipboard manager seems to recognize the data.
In theory simple but it's been a struggle. What's a clipboard manager that actually supports anything inside the clipboard?
By the way I noticed that if I copy a small image area in Photoshop, then InsideClipboard will show things like the size of the image etc. But if I copy a huge image area, it will be shown just as CF_METAFILEPICT with no details. But it is still shown. With my Cubase automation data it is just empty.
