TIFF is what os-x gives in lots of cases. For Sophie we just then ran the Sophie image read/write logic and converted the TIFF into something usable.

Ah, yeah that probably explains it. Apple moved to PNG for a number of things in 10.6.

Ah, I misremembered. Neither RTF nor TIFF reading is implemented. On Unix we get text/html as rich-text format, and that works. Now I remember something about a RichText Squeak reader somewhere, but can't place it ...
Bitmap pasting works only if the format is PNG or JPG, which a lot of apps produce, but not all, apparently. For screenshots I use shift-control-command-4 which puts a PNG into the clipboard and that can be pasted fine.

Everything makes sense now. Thank you.
It seems that Grab, Preview, Safari, Firefox and Chrome export only TIFF to clipboard. I'm working on that. I hope to have news soon.

Great! However, Safari works fine for me. E.g. I go to
http://squeakland.org/showcase/
then right-click on the girl holding the star, choose "Copy Image", switch to Etoys, Cmd-V, and get the image pasted fine ...
Possibly I changed the default format on my Mac at some point in the distant past? Hmm. But others are reporting it works for them ...

Not here. I get TIFF. Googled a bit, searched into preferences, could not find a way to modify that. It could be a Safari issue, or most likely an OS X issue, as the same happens to me in Firefox and Chrome. FWIW, I'm using Safari 5.0.3 (5533.19.4) on OS X 10.5.8.
I'm on Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.6) and there the format is PNG.
Anyway, the TIFF reader is working here and solves the issue for good. Now I just need to get permission to publish it.

Great! :)
