Hi, Tomas. I just tested the "Geometry Paster" plugin and also ran into this clipboard size limit. It looks like the code for the plugin tries to avoid this problem: csv.field_size_limit(sys.maxsize) But this doesn't seem to have the intended effect. On my machine, sys.maxsize is 9223372036854775807, which appears to be too large for setting the csv.field_size_limit. One workaround would be to open the QGIS Python console and set it manually to the maximum longint value: csv.field_size_limit(2147483647) It looks like there is already a pull request to fix this in the plugin, from just 3 days ago: https://github.com/nextgis/qgis_geometry_paster/pull/12/files Cheers, Keith On Tue, Nov 28, 2023 at 3:37 PM Tomas Straupis via QGIS-Developer <qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org> wrote: > > Hello > > I was wondering, is there any reason why "paste geometry" (for > vector features) is not implemented in QGIS?
