Clipboard issue with EditPad Pro
Posted: 13 Oct 2010, 19:20
I have the following issue with Altap Salamander working together with EditPad Pro. When I copy a text to the clipboard in EditPad Pro and exit EditPad Pro, the clipboard text disappears. I tried to communicate with the EditPad Pro author but he claims he can't reproduce the issue even though I can reproduce it easily (with free alternative to EditPad Pro - EditPad Lite):
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I am not saying that the problem is with Altap Salamander. It might be a combination of things between Salamander and EditPad Pro. I am willing to help you troubleshoot/debug the issue but I don't know how. Please let me know if I can do something to help you with this issue.
BTW: If after I copy the text to the clipboard I paste it to another application then the issue doesn't repro.
Thanks,
David.
- Download EditPad Lite 6.6.4 from http://download.jgsoft.com/editpad/SetupEditPadLite.exe
- Install in C:\Program Files (x86)\EditPadLite
Run it once for all the configuration to happen
- Install in C:\Program Files (x86)\Altap Salamander
- Install in C:\Program Files (x86)\EditPadLite
- Run Altap Salamander
Navigate to Option > Configuration...
Go to Viewers and Editors > Editors
Set editor for *.* to be C:\Program Files (x86)\EditPadLite\EditPadLite.exe
- Now navigate to a text file, for example C:\Windows\system.ini (or any other file - it doesn't matter what file you select)
Press F4 to edit the file in EditPad Lite
Select some text and hit Ctrl+C
Exit EditPad Lite (EditPad Lite is now closed)
- Move to the command line (Ctrl+Tab I believe) and Press Ctrl+V to paste the text
--> NOTHING HAPPENS, CLIPBOARD IS EMPTY! <--
