Why aren’t these checked as part of the App Store application process? This appears to be a simple app configuration mistake.How can this totally corrupt my system even outside of apps that don’t use this information?.
(Or so I’ve read in the past about these apps.) Yet this particular app was able to disrupt a key feature in my daily usage of the mac between two entirely separate applications! These are apparently super-sandboxed in terms of what they can do on the computer. The app that caused the problem, Notability, was installed via the macOS app store. I was annoyed by this because it seems like this should be impossible.
(Then I reinstalled Notability and everything was bad again!). System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/Support/\ I uninstalled Notability and everything resumed it’s normal behavior regarding copy & paste after I reset the UTI database. So the offending app is likely to be Notability. Lsregister -dump | head -n 36795 | grep "CFBundleExecutable = " | tail -n 10ĬFBundleExecutable = "Google Chrome Helper" ĬFBundleExecutable = "Photo Library Migration Utility" System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Frameworks/amework/Support/\ # uti type definition, the last one should be the app # This command shows the last 10 "apps" before the offending This isn’t entirely reliable, but I think it should work in most cases. So now we need to guess at the file that this implicates. This indicates it’s line 49934 that has the active mapping, whereas we wanted it to be on line 36795, which is the internal apple mapping with all the appropriate metadata. #NOTABILITY FOR MAC CRASHING PORTABLE#

Identify uninstall the app by looking through the UTI registration database with lsregister.

This resulted in many equivalent types not being recognized as valid PDF data on the clipboard. There was an app hijacking the “” uniform type identifier (UTI). You will be able to get vector data if you copy and paste an entire page instead of a selected region of a page.
Symptom. Cutting and pasting sections of PDF files from macOS / OSX Preview results in fuzzy and pixelated images where you were expecting vector PDF data to be copied and pasted.

This is a long way of saying, I don't see a solution at hand, and can only recommend using products that support open standards. Unfortunately other developers, especially those with access to a Mac, have not picked up on trying to solve this issue in the main Excalidraw thread. I have a general understanding of the underlying problem, which is a Safari deficiency. I've already spent about 8-10 hours of my time trying to get to the bottom of it. very hard to debug and fix, again because Apple created such a closed environment, that prevents developers that do not use a Mac from debugging iOS web apps.īottom line is, yes, I know about the issue. based on my testing only impacts iOS (Safari), in my personal opinion, because Apple does not fully support open web standards. is not an Obsidian plugin bug, but an r core package problem, that. The issue you seem to be referring to is this: excalidraw/excalidraw#5788 I think you are referring to a different problem than described in this specific issue.
