nonresidentalien Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Hi guys, I often have issues with graphics becoming scrambled when pasted into Affinity Designer for Mac. Most prominently are figures from Graphpad Prism scientific plotting software which I use a lot. Sometimes, it helps to past the graphics in Preview, and copy it from previous before pasting into Affinity. But not always. Also copying and pasting in word often leads to low-res rasterization of parts. I know, one can work around this by exporting to JPEP or PNG but I feel this should necessary in 2019... So I guess its part bug report, part feature request (fix the clipboard). Thanks, Lars Quote
Staff Gabe Posted April 11, 2019 Staff Posted April 11, 2019 Hi @nonresidentalien, We are aware of this issue. The workaround, for now, is to export as PDF or SVG from Prism and then import that file back to Affinity. Thanks, Gabe. Quote
nonresidentalien Posted April 11, 2019 Author Posted April 11, 2019 Hi Gabe. Thanks for your swift response. I am aware of the PDF or SVG workaround, and I am currently using that trick, although it has its own set of limitations with text, clipping masks etc. But worse, it adds a considerable overhead to my workflows as I have to go back and forth often. It is 2019, a graphic software should be fully compatible with the clipboard and common word processors. This totally feels like 15 years ago... Please fix soon. Thanks, Lars Quote
nonresidentalien Posted July 16, 2019 Author Posted July 16, 2019 Hi @GabrielM, Any news on the copy/paste bugs? Thanks, Lars Quote
Staff Gabe Posted July 17, 2019 Staff Posted July 17, 2019 I'm afraid no. Sorry nonresidentalien 1 Quote
nonresidentalien Posted July 17, 2019 Author Posted July 17, 2019 This is unfortunate, in particular since the issues even seem to have gotten worse. Now, all text is imported as text boxes rather than artistic text. As a result, alignment of text etc has become a major pain. Please fix soon. The clipboard is quite an essential feature. Thanks, Lars Quote
Ola Billing Posted May 7, 2021 Posted May 7, 2021 Hi, I note that the clipboard problem remains in AD 1.9.3. Is this something you plan to fix? Best, Ola Quote
Staff Gabe Posted May 10, 2021 Staff Posted May 10, 2021 Hi @Ola Billing, Welcome to the forums. I'm afraid I don't have any updates in this. Sorry. Quote
