Impict copies bitmap to clipboard including unwanted objects

[jeffbronks]

Open an IPP file that includes a bitmap with some drawing objects on top of it.
Select the bitmap.
Copy it to the clipboard with Ctrl-C.
Paste into another application.

Expected behaviour: selected bitmap, and nothing else, appears in second application.

Actual behaviour: selected bitmap appears, plus truncated bits of all other objects that appeared in front of it in Impict.

The only way to stop this happening is to set all objects that overlap the bitmap to "invisible" in the Object List, but this takes a long time if there are lots of objects.

Hi Jeff,

This isn't actually a bug. When copying an object within Impict the program can use its own format. For copies to other programs it must draw a rectangle the same size of the object and copy that to the clipboard as a standard bitmap, but that can only contain what is visible on the screen.

In that case, Tim, I think a workaround is required. I'll see you on the Impict wishlist forum.
