Karl,
Yes I agree with you, but perhaps my wording was not that clear.
If an app puts a bmp and a emf on the Windows clipboard, then you copy from
an app that only supports bmp, you will lose the jpg from before and only
have the new bmp.
I was trying to emphasize the difference to the Office clipboard where you
can have more than one object of the same format at the same time.

Afaik, the entire contents of the clipboard (all formats) are cleared
whenever a
Copy operation occurs. At least that's generally considered "proper"
coding, in
nearly every circumstance. Certainly, if there's a need to do otherwise,
it should
be transparent to the user. Have you ever seen items *added* to the
clipboard
collection via a straigt-up Copy operation?
