XNviewMP 1.9.4 with bug in Copy and Paste resource

[josedumoretzsohn]

I just found the Opacity value resource inside the Draw panel, but there it cannot serve the Select + Copy + Paste operation.

I am trying to cope with 1.9.5, but the Paste-resulted image is still much darker than the piece selected and copied, and in 1.9.5 there's no Toolbar where to manage the Opacity value.

record your screen with windows Snipping tool and upload to imgur.com

Sorry to extend on this, but the fact is: in MP 1.9.3x64, under fully updated Windows 11, when, working on a very same image, after we Select and Copy a frame and then Move the frame anywhere else and Paste it there, the color is absolutely the same as the original one copied, which means the Opacity value is also absolutely the same when moved from one place to the other. Why is it different in 1.9.4 and 1.9.5 ? I am working with the three last versions 1.9.3 and 1.9.4 and 1.9.5, trying to learn whether I can find a final solution. Thank you for your guidance.

Hello everyone, my first post.

I'm using XnView since many years, and the copy/paste tool is one of my regularly used tools. The upgraded copy/paste function is really great for pasting content with accuracy, while having visual control during the process. But when accuracy is not required but a fluent work flow is mandatory, the new copy/paste function isn't the right tool for the job.

For example, I often draw a selection with the mouse, then copy the current selection, then repeatedly paste the content while dragging the selection frame to new coordinates across the image, sometimes in quick succession depending on the current task I want to achieve. With the new functionality, this quick copy/paste routine isn't practicable anymore, because every paste requires to be confirmed by either clicking the OK button on the top of the XnView edit screen, or by right-clicking into the selection three times in quick succession. For copy/paste jobs, where accuracy isn't required, the necessity to confirm every paste continuously brakes the creative flow.

That's why I want to suggest making both the old and the new copy/paste tool path available in XnView. Each function is available as a command that can be bound to a user defined keyboard shortcut. The updated copy/paste routine could go by the name "Copy/Paste enhanced", or maybe name the old routine "Copy/Paste classic".
