Re: Strip XMP Packet from the end of binary image data

Richard, i have no idea > Fireworks CS6 has been discontinued for years so I can't really even ask, But this bug turned into a feature because my clipboard tool now correclty saves clipboard data as reusable objects that keep their styles and effects and meta data in at least 1 adobe program t

Re: Strip XMP Packet from the end of binary image data

The problem for me was that Fireworks was updating the clipboard data every second ..effectively changing the content of the clipboard even if it didn't change..The image was not changing , but the meta data was. so I had a runaway "Clipboard changing message" . it was a nightmare ...
