Foreign Language Paste

[drgt]

Hi
When pasting a clip caught in foreign language, the actual paste is gibberish, even though the clip shows correctly in the app UI.

C H+S is not unicode, as far as I know it needs a big change to be so.

@drgt:
Windows clipboard is unicode, so the last clip you copied will (normally) be correct -- whether pasted via CHS or not, but as soon as you copy another clip it will no longer display many non-English letters accents etc. correctly.

What they said.

Thank you guys!
Expect any changes regarding that?

Happy holidays.

There's a curious non-problematic minor "bug" in CHS that probably does some of what seems to be required here - but it is transient. I noticed it and reported it to @mouser some time back. I think he may have "fixed" it to some extent - not that it was in the way or really needed a fix though. However, under certain conditions (I can't deliberately replicate them), the bug reappears. It has been manifesting itself quite a lot recently. It seems to be usually preceded by my having done a lot of clips/pastes, and is noticeable just after I have copied the contents of an entry of the COD (Concise Oxford Dictionary) into the Clipboard.
The bug manifests by displaying odd behaviour and the RTF/Unicode in the clip text in the CHS Memo pane - including, for example:

• the colours blue and red used for some words by COD,
• some bold, italic and different fonts/sizes,
• special characters (there are often some of these in each COD entry, as accents and phonetic symbols), and
• the text in the Memo pane itself becomes zoomable with the mouse - e.g., like the image in the Image tab of a Memo pane in CHS is zoomable.

I had said "I would like more of that please!" (OWTTE), but it's apparently not in the design/development plan, and is thus apparently correctly regarded as a "bug" - probably for reasons as described above and elsewhere.   

CHS still rules though!    (In my armory of information management tools, at any rate.)

Can you please update the program to support Unicode (foreign languages)?

Is the source code available? Maybe I could look at it.

An offer hard to refuse? ...
