A Photo Clipboard errors

[Johan Crous]

I have noticed weird behaviour after the latest update in Affinity Photo.

New from clipboard only works once.

I can copy something new, but copy from clipboard will now paste the first copy.

I cannot coppy even layers to another photo, same thing happen.

 

It worked perfectly until latest update.

I am sometimes able to clear the issue by closing all images and start afresh.

Will a clipboard clearing app help?

Here is my dumb question: Do you have anything actually selected when you copy the second time? I do this rather a lot, several times in a row even after I realize I have nothing selected.

Yes,

I selected something after I used the selction tool, selected by pressing Control + C and then paste from clipboard. It pasted the previous copy. Tried it several times.

It even did the same when I tried to copy three layers over to another image.

Hi Johan Crous,

Please could you provide a screen recording demonstrating this issue so I can look into this further with you?

Thanks

I can't find a "paste from clipboard option". If you mean "New from clipboard" that is for creating new documents. If you want to paste something into an existing document, you should use Control + C then Control + V. (or Layer, Paste Inside to constrain the pasted item within the existing document.)

I mean New from Clipboad. It gives the old original clipboard image over and over.

As I said, "New from Clipboard" is for creating a new document, it does not paste into an existing document. Use Control + V.
