Does CHS handle Rich Text?
« on: January 16, 2014, 02:24 AM »
I'm confused about rich text. There is a limit setting for it in options. I changed that from 0 to 10000. But I'm still not getting any rich text capture. Am I missing something or does CHS not handle rich text? Thanks.

CHS does not currently handle RichText, or any formats other than plaintext and images.  It's on my todo list.

Formatting isn't carrying forward in the clips, so it's still not doing the rich text, I guess?

I hope that CHS could one day handle RichText and formats other than plaintext. It would be a huge enhancement.

When I have played about with CHS, I have sometimes, under certain conditions (copying text from my Concise Oxford Dictionary app.), been able to see that it does seem to support rich text to some extent (e.g., coloured text) but only in the single latest clip in the Clipboard buffer. That formatting was expunged as soon as the next clip was brought into the top of the buffer.
That was under Win7-64, but I can't seem to get it to work at all now, under Win8.1-64 PRO.
