Llew Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Alright, this is a problem that I've had on and off ever since I started using Paint.net: The paste feature doesn't work. I copy something, either in or outside of PDN, but when I go to paste in PDN it says 'The clipboard doesn't contain an image'. It was working fine last night, but when I took my computer out of standby this morning it gave me that again. An interesting thing is, it seems that when paste works the Tolerance bar doesn't work. It just shows whatever was last on the screen in where the bar is. Is this just the nut behind the wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llew Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 see this: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=20591 basically, you need to select something before copying. No, that's not my problem unfortunately. I can go and copy anything (Even hitting Ctrl+A), but when I hit past, no matter if I use the shortcut, the one on the pull down tab or anything, it always says the the clipboard does not contain any images. I had to restart my computer to get it to work, but then it stopped working after a while so I'll have to restart again if I want it to work. It's rather annoying.

Rick Brewster Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 This is not a Paint.NET issue. If there isn't something that it can understand in the clipboard, then it simply can't use it. Some other software you're using is probably doing something incorrect with regards to its clipboard handling. I've had this problem a few times over the years, restarting -- or logout/login -- always fixed it.

Now that I think about it, it always stopped working when I turned it on. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
