When I retrieve an NSAttributedString from NSPasteboard, the background color is lost. This is what I am copying:
And this is what is returned (I am saving it to an rtf file):
This is my code for it:
func readBoard () {
var board = NSPasteboard.general
var attr = board.readObjects(forClasses: [NSAttributedString.self])![0] as! NSAttributedString
print(attr)
export(attributedText: attr)
}
func export(attributedText:NSAttributedString) {
let file = "Output.rtf"
do {
let range = NSRange(location: 0, length: attributedText.length)
if let data = attributedText.rtf(from: range, documentAttributes: [NSAttributedString.DocumentAttributeKey.characterEncoding : String.Encoding.utf8, NSAttributedString.DocumentAttributeKey.documentType : NSAttributedString.DocumentType.rtf]) {
if let dir = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first {
let url = dir.appendingPathComponent(file)
try! data.write(to: url)
}
}
}
catch {
}
}
How do I keep the backgroundColor attribute? Thanks.
Edit:
When I print board.types, I get this:
