Clipboard import

Post by RichBrown12 »

Under windows it is possible to import pictures to XnView via clipboards.

Under some conditions the clipboard import does not work correctly, perhaps someone knows why?

* Clipboards seems to forget transparency in GIF or PNG pictures. Transparent color is replaced by black. Is it possible to choose a different color (in most cases white would be better)?

* Pictures from Libreoffice shrink in horizontal direction, perhaps Xnview miss the correct size. Is there a way to tell Xnview which pixel size should be chosen?

Thanks in advance!

This is what I said.

Might I repeat my questions?

* Is it possible to tell xnview which color to choose for background color?
* Is it possible to tell xnview the size of a picture if this information is missing in clipboard?

Thanks for your efforts, I'm afraid there is no solution.

Hi again.

No I cannot see that XnView have that option - or at least a proper way of selecting transparent color on true color images.

Topic have being discussed before in this old thread.
