Hotspot paste not functioning

Unread post by brogacewicz »

Afternoon!

I'm not quite sure if something is messing with my clipboard (as other programs seem fine) but as of the recent update I believe the ability to copy paste hotspots between images was removed or changed. I recall being able to copy multiple hotspots from one image, cancel out, open another and paste there; this is no longer an option. I would appreciate any assistance at all, re-creating these would simply be too much work. I really hope it's something dumb, I'm just not sure where to look.

Hi Broga,

To be honest, I've never done this and didn't even know that it was possible, but I just tested it and can confirm that it doesn't work now. 8) I'm checking it with our developers and will get back to you here as soon as I know more.

Update:

This still works but you currently need to use a trick to enable it: You need to insert and select a dummy hotspot in the new image. When that is selected in the hotspot editor you will be able to paste in the copied ones from the clipboard with CTRL+V. Then you just delete the dummy. :) We're going to improve this in the next update.

Note: A correction for this behavior will be included in the 7.4 update when it is released. If you want to live on the edge you can get the beta with it now:
