Bugs in PutClip 0.09
| Reported by: | James Lampard (51) | Severity: | Normal |
| Part: | RISC OS: Application | Release: | |
| Milestone: | Status | Open |
Details by James Lampard (51):
After loading the program: If you just enter some text into the window and press “Put Clipboard” you get the error:
Errors in file: RunImage.Window
Dragging a text file to the window before pressing the “Put Clipboard” button works okay.
Dragging the attached draw file to the window produces the error:
Errors in file: RunImage.PlotDraw
(Note I changed to the development version, of PutClip 0.09 to get the throwbacks / more accurate error line numbers)
Changelog:

This is the offending Draw file.

Entering text directly isn’t supported as drag-and-drop is much easier when doing lots of testing. However now that PutClip is out in the open it needs to be sorted so I’ll have a look at it.
As for the draw file, it appears the originating application (NetSurf) failed to set up the bounding box for the main group. Opening the file in Draw and saving it without making any changes fixes it.

The odd image placeholders in the original description are due to Textile formatting faults in the bug tracker; see Ticket #188. I may disable Textile processing altogether which ought to tidy up many fault reports containing technical data (the original text is stored in the database – Textile parsing is only done when the page is rendered).

- Part changed from Unspecified to RISC OS: Application
New Textile processing is in place but the basic problem is just that the original report included Textile sensitive sequences. Wrapping in <notextile> would work in future. Since Collaboa presently doesn’t let a ticket author edit their ticket and since there is no preview, people are understandably a bit stuck between a rock and a hard place.
At least the current Textile implementation’s web site includes a live preview tool on its Home page so people could use that for now.

Not a bug in PutClip per se, but just attaching it here as an idea from Jim Nagel at Archive.
A star command to allow text to be put onto the clipboard, thus can be called from something like an obey file or from a macro in a spreadsheet when a report is run.
eg. *CopyToClipboard “This text is now on the clipboard”

PutClip is just a simple Wimp task, not a module, so it can’t do star commands. It shouldn’t be too difficult though to create a module that implements such a start command. I’ll at look at it.

Initial version of module done. Still very rough but it works. Some switches might be useful, -StripQuotes, -PassThroughGSTrans. More?
