Copy and paste selection issues in image view, clipboard is to blame?

Post by LongOfTooth »

I just upgraded to XnView MP Windows Version 0.96 64bits (Mar 20 2020) Libformat version 7.40 and much to my dismay I've found that I'm no longer able to cut and paste. I'm trying to paste into a Word document using the Control C, Control V method that used to work.

Is this just a setting that I've overlooked or has this feature been removed or changed?

Thanks

An issue that has also recently been reported by someone else, I think...

I've just noticed looking at 0.96 that the shortcut for Edit > Copy to clipboard -- Image is currently Ctrl + Shift + C .

Not Ctrl + C as might be expected, has there been a change in the recent past :?:

In 0.93.1 the same option was named 'Copy to clipboard -- Image data' with the word 'data' included, so there has been at least a minor relabelling recently.

Given the seeming departure from usual practice, and potential for confusion, is Ctrl + Shift + C a necessary change?
