Hi,

I am registering an IDisplayConverter with
configRegistry.registerConfigAttribute(
CellConfigAttributes.DISPLAY_CONVERTER,displayConverter,DisplayMode.NORMAL,GridRegion.BODY.toString());


The values of the target representation are correctly shown in the ui but if the user copies out of the table to the clipboard with ctrl+c, the canonical representation is shown. Is there an easy way to configure the copying to use the target representation as well?

IIRC you need to configure the CopyDataCommandHandler accordingly.

		CopyDataCommandHandler copyHandler = new CopyDataCommandHandler(selectionLayer, columnHeaderDataLayer, rowHeaderDataLayer);
		copyHandler.setCopyFormattedText(true);
		gridLayer.registerCommandHandler(copyHandler);


This is shown in the CopyExample of the NatTable Examples Application

For some reasons this does not work for me. CopyDataCommandHandler will use a CopyFormattedTextToClipboardSerializer if configured with setCopyFormattedText(true). Now CopyFormattedTextToClipboardSerializer.getTextForCell calls CellDisplayConversionUtils.convertDataType in which the DisplayConverter is looked up via
configRegistry.getConfigAttribute(
				                CellConfigAttributes.DISPLAY_CONVERTER,
				                cell.getDisplayMode(),
				                cell.getConfigLabels().getLabels())

This however returns a DefaultDisplayConverter which is different from what I registered with the config registry, not sure why this is the case.

A workaround is overriding the getTextForCell method and provide the DisplayConverter directly:

CopyDataCommandHandler copyHandler = new CopyDataCommandHandler(selectionLayer, null,null) {
	@Override
	public boolean doCommand(final CopyDataToClipboardCommand c) {
		final ILayerCell[][] data = assembleCopiedDataStructure();
		final CopyDataToClipboardSerializer serializer = new CopyFormattedTextToClipboardSerializer(data, c) {
			@Override
			protected String getTextForCell(ILayerCell cell) {
				Object data = displayConverter.canonicalToDisplayValue(cell, configRegistry,null);
				return data==null ? "" : data.toString();
			}
		};

		serializer.serialize();
		return true;				
	}
};
gridLayer.registerCommandHandler(copyHandler);


I am using 1.0.0.201305291732 though, maybe the behavior has changed in a more recent version.

Well if you are using 1.0.0 it might be a bug that has already been fixed. I remember some issue with the CopyDataCommandHandler. But I can't remember as it is more than a year old IIRC.

The other question is, are you sure that your IDisplayConverter is registered correctly? Where and when do you register it?

I just tested 1.1.1 and I still have this problem.

I am not sure if I am doing anything wrong with the DisplayConverter registration. A small test case is shown below:

It seems the issue is the way you are registering the IDisplayConverter. Why are you creating a ConfigRegistry and adding it manually? You should use an AbstractRegistryConfiguration and register that to a layer below the GridLayer. IIRC the way you are doing it, the IDisplayConverter is overriden while configuring.
