I was going to report a _new_ bug but found my report was a dupe -- so I'll post it here:
The "[Copy]/[Paste]" does not work across different instances (windows) of Inkscape0801171812 I installed http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/Inkscape0801171812.7z and have it registered and my program of choice to open and edit ".svg" files. When I am editing multiple ".svg" files each one is opened in a seperate instances of Inkscape, NOT seperate windows within ONE instance of Inkscape). If I select a vector drawing (not a simple bitmap) and "[Edit][Copy]" it then I am able to "[Edit][Paste]" it _within_ the _same_ drawing windows (IE: this part works OK). If I select a vector drawing (not a simple bitmap) and "[Edit][Copy]" it then I am NOT able to "[Edit][Paste]" it to a different instance of Inkscape running in a different windows NOR am I able to grab the object and drag it from one instance's windows to another running copy (IE: this is BROKEN). I suspect that the way the object is being saved in the Window's clipboard is not correct. If I "[Edit][Copy]" a bitmap object in "Window's Paint" and then "[Edit][Paste]" it into Inkscape it is transfered over OK. If I leave it selected in Inkscape, "[Edit][Copy]" it and attempt to "[Edit][Paste]" it back into "Window's Paint" the "[Paste]" menu choice is greyed out and it won't paste back (CTRL-V also does not help). Every other graphics program I have can transfer simple bitmaps back and forth using the clipboard. I appreciate that I should not expect a ".svg" file to paste into "Window's Paint" (since it does not support that format of data) but if Inkscape stored ".svg" vector, ".wmf", and bitmap versions of the drawing in the clipboard then the receiving program could choose what it was capable of accepting. It would be great if Inkscape worked with Xara ".svg" format also. -- [upstream] can't copy & paste between two inkscape windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25779 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
