xahu34 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I have two PTE-projects on my HD (v7.5.2).I care for a "clean" Windows clipboard (no PTE slide on the clipboard) I open Project 1I open Project 2I highlight a slide in the slide list of Project 1, and copy it to the clipboardIn this situation, it is impossible for me to paste the copied slide to some place in the same Project 1. In order to do that, I have to close Project 2 first and copy the highlighted slide again.Regards,Xaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT used to be the Hawk method, but there was a recent change that negated that featureso search for a recent "hawk method" entryshame to lose that feature...Forget about the Hawk method. I know about it, and there is no need for me to search for it. This method was based on the fact that each instance of PTE had its own internal clipboard for copying and pasting slides. V7.5 works in a completely different way: Now the general Windows clipboard is used, and on my system the access to the Windows clipboard shows a strange behavior, as described above.Regards,Xaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 you described exactly how the hawk method worked -- the method was in use long before you made an appearance to the forumken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xahu34 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 ...I am not having this problem in 7.5.2. I can copy slides either direction. ...Did you exactly follow my steps from above without doing anything else, without having other open instances of PTE?I did it with Win XP.Regards,Xaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xahu34 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 ...Copy and paste either direction no problems....I do not refer to copying slides from one project to the other one, but only to copy and paste within the same project, the one that has been opened first.Regards,Xaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Xaver,Thanks, I confirm your findings.This problem happens when clipboard was empty before you run PicturesToExe and you run two instances of PicturesToExe.We'll try fix it quickly in v7.5.3.

xahu34 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 ...This problem happens when clipboard was empty before you run PicturesToExe and you run two instances of PicturesToExe....For me, in order to see the said effect, the clipboard may be empty, but it must not be empty. It also "works" in cases where I copy some contents to the clipboard using other applications (LibreOffice, Text editor, Firefox, ...), different from PTE, and do it before opening the two instances of PTE. I think that the condition is that there must not be some PTE slide on the clipboard. I called this "clean" in post no. 1.

xahu34 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 A remark on the so-called Hawk Method:This method still works, it has not been negated. But we have to face the fact that this "method" was nothing but a horrible workaround, as with former versions of PTE there was no chance to copy slides from one open project to another project being open at the same time. Presently we have the small bug that has been reported in this thread. Once it will be fixed, copying slides across projects (now simultaneously open) will work in a way that is much more user friendly than with the older versions of PTE. The Hawk Method did its job, but the change was overdue.Regards,Xaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
