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 6-29).

6-6-3 Using the RGS log to detect clipboard problems
As described in the next section,
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.
