Currently, pasting an image from the Clipboard causes one of two things to happen: either the image is pasted into the bottom-most image object, or if there are no image objects it creates a new image sized to match the entire card. It's rarely the case in my own work that either is what I want. :) <http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=2473>
While RunRev hasn't taken the time to address this in the engine, they did take the time to implement a workaround in their IDE's Edit menu:
if the clipBoard is "image" and the selectedImage is empty then
lock messages
lock screen
create image
put the clipBoardData["image"] into last image
unlock messages
unlock screen
put true into tObjects
choose pointer tool
select last imageSo at least their IDE works, even if users will be confused when their standalone behaves differently.
The question for us is whether we should maintain the purity of the MC IDE by using the engine's Paste command as it does now, or favor usability by implementing the workaround script from RR.
I'd like to say be able to report that we can expect a fix on this soon, but it's been outstanding for half a year so I think if we want this it it may not be productive to wait for the engine to catch up with us.
