The Remote Clipboard system uses the filter string to avoid transmission of unneeded clipboard formats
across the network—only formats specified by the filter string are passed over the network from the cut
computer to the paste (receiving) computer.
Because the filter string is an RGS Receiver-specified property, and because the paste computer can be
any computer (RGS Sender or Receiver), RGS communicates the filter string from the RGS Receiver to
each RGS Sender whenever a Receiver/Sender connection is established (see
Figure 6-30 Transmission
of the filter string property from the RGS Receiver to the RGS Sender on page 143).

6.8.3 Using the RGS log to detect clipboard problems
As described in the next section, Receiver and Sender logging on page 145, both the RGS Receiver
and the RGS Sender have the ability to log various types of information to log files during their
operation. If the logging level is set to DEBUG on the Receiver and Sender, Remote Clipboard
information will be stored in the Receiver and Sender log files. These log files can then be used to
detect and resolve Remote Clipboard problems.
Remote Clipboard entries in the log files have the text below preceding the Remote Clipboard
information. In particular, the string “(format filter)” identifies each log file entry that contains Remote
Clipboard information. In this section, the text preceding the Remote Clipboard information will not be
shown.
