OK folks, sorry for disappearing for a while but I had to pop out and earn some money to feed the family:-)
I do have to say though that I'm a little disappointed, especially when I see comments like: I wish I could pin down when it fails,
when I believe I have created a recipe that does just that - although granted if you're on Win and I've only done a Mac recipe I can understand. Also, comments like: Can you paste via the menu?, and
then you can switch to another program (other than BBedit or
TeachText) and see if you can paste it there. If you cannot, then perhaps there's a problem with Automator. If you can paste it there, and it never shows in Rev, you have an engine bug.
I thought I made it very clear at the beginning with: but if you select any other application that
handles text and select 'Paste' or the keyboard shortcut, the contents of your file will be pasted. Going back to Rev and using either the keyboard or the menu will NOT paste anything into field "Text".
[or a blank script, or the msg box] But just to clarify, other than BBEdit and TextEdit, I can paste the clipboard using the menu or the keyboard shortcut, into: NeoOffice - Wordprocessing, Spreadsheet cell & text box in a Drawing; Stickies; the search field in Google using Safari or FireFox; Mail; the search field in Preview and Acrobat; the Spotlight field in Finder; AppleScript's Script Editor; Terminal; the text entry field of the Dictionary Dashboard Widget; the typing test field of the Keyboard tab of the Keyboard and Mouse Preference Pane. I could test others.... All I wanted was someone, just one other person, to repeat what I've done, to either confirm what I'm experiencing (a bug) or determine that they don't experience it (then it's my set-up). If it is confirmed then I believe it will help solve the sporadic copy/paste anomalies that have been expressed here, and rather than talk about hacks and work-arounds, we can hopefully get Rev to copy/paste like it should. So someone, please, with sugar on top:-) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
