Nowaday, nearly every application should have drag and drop features.
This tool let you see every byte that are in the clipboard or in a drag to help you understand what it contaisn and how to parse it in your application.
The principle is very simple: you paste, paste selection or drop things into the window and a list of all MIME types the source application can export is shown, with the data of each type, so you can view what data organization is to code filters for your program.

Purpose

I initialy created this tool to be able to make BasKet Note Pads understand most MIME types every application can drag to it: I need to analyze what are the provided MIME types and what they contain.

Quick Help

Here is all you need to know to use the program:

• You can:
  • Drop things
  • Paste things (with the button or Ctrl+V)
  • Paste selection (middle mouse button)
• Then, the text area will show the following informations from the drop/paste:
  • A summary of all MIME types the source export
  • Then for each MIME types:
    • The length in bytes
    • The bytes as characters (char)
    • The hexadecimal value of each byte
• Finaly, you can quit by closing the window or pressing Qtrl+Q
