copy and paste to clipboard seriously lacking
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:46 EST
Description of problem: No way to copy and paste from clipboard Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Lastest How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.copy and image from say OpenOffice Draw 2.Open gimp 3.Select "File/Aquire" menu on main panel. Actual results: No "from clipboard" option like Windows Gimp or 1.Open bitmap in gimp 2.Select "Edit/" menu on drawing window Actual results: No "Copy to Clipboard" option like Windows Gimp or 1.copy and image from say OpenOffice Draw 2.Open bitmap graphic in gimp 3.Select "Edit" menu on drawing window. Actual results: No "Paste from Clipboard" option like Windows Gimp Expected results: Menus options should be able to copy and paste at will between Gimp and other applications. Frame work is in the code since it works perfectly in Windows, why not avaible in Linux??? Additional info:
You really cannot compare Copy and Paste on Windows to Copy and Paste in X -- they are completely different things. Anyway, this bug should be solved upstream and is in fact already in the GIMP's bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118507 I will close this bug as UPSTREAM meaning I've subscribed to the aforementioned bug and as soon as patches are made available, I should know it and might incorporate them in the package (depending on the complexity of the patch, i.e. if the patch is against the development version of the GIMP and backporting is too difficult I might just wait for the next major version). BTW: "Latest" for Version/Release is not much information for me -- what is latest for you might be a few releases old for me ;-). Please make it something like "gimp-2.0.2-1.fc2.2" in the future, thanks.
