Problems with Paste

[m.Th.]

The following bug has most probably the same cause with the still present bug described here: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=28691

1. Select some files
2. Right-click and chose Copy (or Cut)
3. Go to another folder and try to chose Paste

Expected: Paste is enabled and choosing it will copy the files

Actual: Paste is disabled

Of course, if one goes in Win Explorer the files are pasted correctly.

Notes: it doesn't show up always. Only "sometimes".

A humble thought: Rather than spending countless hours in finding the cause, perhaps is better to leave the Paste always enabled, like in eg. FastStone Viewer.

I can't reproduce, often it's disabled?? Are you able to find the program that cause this problem??

and i don't see logical to have paste enabled if paste is not possible

Yes, quite often. In fact most of the screen-shots which I post here I 'route' them through FastStone Viewer which, incidentally, has the command always 'enabled'.

No, I cannot find which program causes the problem (yet). However I'm not in a total darkness. I think that is something related to the clipboard format and/or some Microsoft Office / Adobe programs. Or perhaps Firefox?

and i don't see logical to have paste enabled if paste is not possible

Well, neither do I.

But it is a pity to work with FastStone Viewer and/or PowerPoint just for this.

Correction: FastStone Viewer doesn't have the Paste always enabled. But somehow it manages to enable it correctly. How do you do it?

It is your code? Qt?

New things:

This bug can be 100% reproductible:

1. Close XnView MP
2. With the program closed put an image in the clipboard (for example, on Windows press Print Screen)
3. Start XnView MP

Expected:
Import Clipboard should be enabled since is an image in Clipboard

Actual:
Import Clipboard is disabled

What's funny tough, is that the Edit | Paste is enabled (!) but it does nothing.


I think that it would strengthen the code to check if QClipboard::image is null when the application is activated and enable (or not) the Import Clipboard command.

Paste in view mode??
Paste & import clipboard are enabled

Paste in view mode??
Paste & import clipboard are enabled

No, I'm talking about browse mode. Didn't test in View mode.

No, I'm talking about browse mode. Didn't test in View mode.

'Import clipboard' is enabled for me
