is the clipboard one way only?

    I installed the PrlClip.exe app, as directed. It allows me to clip in the Warp VM and paste into Tiger. However, if I clip in Tiger, it does NOT transfer to the Warp VM for pasting!?

    Also, it seems to work only with text, not graphics ...

    I assume you have Parallels tools installed...

    Tools says:
    " Parallels Clipboard Synchronization Tool offers you the possibility
    to synchronize clipboards between the guest and the primary operating system.
    You need only launch the program <PrlClip.exe> from this subdirectory in the
    guest's operating system.
    "
    as I said, it works from warp to osx, but not the other way, and only for text

    the clip board occaisonally misbehaves Win Xp Sp2 to or from Mac OS 10.4.9

    certain rich text items wont go
    or html as screened drops the hidden links

    the work around is pasting into note pad and re-copying or just using txt
