I like the idea.
I like the idea of a class because you could attach behavior to it:
�� - cleaning for release
�� - exporting
�� - importing

There is already cleaning at startup shutdown...

��

...
So instead of using a global I would use
�� instead of Buffer
�� why not ObjectClipBoard ?

Arf this was the name I was looking for ! ��

So I changed some names and some details.

Ancestors:��

Object clipboard: copy/paste objects between tools

-several objects can be "copied" (up to 5 for now)

-the store is reset after each image startup/shutdown

To access programatically:

-to copy an object: �� ObjectClipboard copy: anObject

-to paste an object: �� ObjectClipboard paste

-to get all copied objects: ObjectClipboard content

When a copied object is pasted, the store string version unless the size is too long (100 characters). If the size exceed the limit, what's printed is :

��(ObjectClipboard paste) "anObject name"

ie. the command that can be executed with the commented name of the object on the right.

Different menu commands have been created��

-text editor, inspector and explorer (named: Copy object and Paste object)

--need to load external files to load (I don't want to change the categories for those) (cf. joined files)

I joined a small screenshot too

hope you like it ;)
