"%cliptext%" fails sometimes
« on: March 30, 2009, 07:43 PM »
Hi

I cannot get "%cliptext%" to work at all times it works very flaky. This was working fine until recently. I am not sure if anything has changed?

can you explain what you mean when you say it isnt working reliably?  in other words is it:
  • substituting a blank string where it should put cliptext
  • leaving it in string as %cliptext%
  • replacing it with the WRONG text
  • not capturing clipboard contents as you expect?

mouser I reinstalled my system so far it seems to work better. In my previous installation it was not picking up the selected text at all times. Sometimes it would copy sometimes it would have used the source from the clipboard(so no copy %cliptext%)

I will let you know if I see the anomaly gain.
