Sindre SorhusMy Pasteboard Viewer app is now also available for iOS and visionOS (compatibility mode)
It's a developer utility that lets you inspect the system pasteboard
Christian Tietze@sindresorhus Great! This is a real no-brainer app. But for some reason I stopped at a Mac CLI tool that prints the pasteboard metadata to the console. That could've been an app!! :D
Helge Heß@ctietze @sindresorhus gave it the finishing touches for an actual release 👍 but a similar app is actually available as an example app by Apple since like forever: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/ClipboardViewer/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40008825-Intro-DontLinkElementID_2
@helge That is technically a correct remark that the sample code exists (the README points that out, too), but in comparison @sindresorhus's app is not useless, so it's hardly relevant :)
After tweaking the settings to make it compile, you can inspect images as strings. 🤷♂️
@helge Sorry, I probably mis-read the tone of your reply as condescending, a "yes nicely done, BUT", with the but-part implying "it's not that useful/new/...".
@ctietze @sindresorhus Sorry, useless? The example app is extraordinarily useful if you do Cocoa development. It should have shipped as one of the dev tools!
(I agree that Sindre’s app is the better modern replacement)

@helge Agreed that they should have shipped a build tool that does what the sample app does, and then some, because this is such an important topic on the Mac. @sindresorhus
@ctietze @sindresorhus I thought it may have shipped with YellowBox for Windows already, but doesn't look like. So instead, a picture of the BusyBox.app example 🐮
@sindresorhus One suggestion: Working with image and file data on the clipboard, I found that the modern UTI types wouldn't always match 1:1 the old "deprecated" stuff you mention in the readme:
> It hides obsolete system pasteboard types that have modern equivalents. This includes CorePasteboardFlavorType, NSStringPboardType, NSFilenamesPboardType, etc.
I'll bookmark this to maybe add an option to toggle hide/show deprecated types, but I actually found these to be the most valuable!
