Can't Copy and Paste

rootbeerking · Post by **rootbeerking** » Mon May 03, 2010 1:42 am

Hello I'm having some trouble with Wine. I'm using it so that I can use GraphicsGale without having to reboot into windows, and for some reason It's not letting me copy and paste in side this program. Is there anyway I could fix this? Thank you.

Link to the program I'm trying to get to work correctly: http://www.humanbalance.net/gale/us/

in X11.app preferences, make sure that you have pasteboard and clipboard syncing turned on.

Inside a windows app in Wine, use CTRL+C and CTRL+V .. and back on the Mac side switch back to use CMD+C and CMD+V

Checked and it still isn't working. I'm just trying to copy images from the program and pasting them into the program again but when i try to copy it doesn't register that i even copied the image

I've never tried image copying into X11.app ... I know it supports syncing the text clipboard, but images may not be possible.

Is this between Wine applications, between Wine and OS X or withing
the same Wine application?

It's all within the same wine application. I'll click copy(or do ctrl+C) and it'll act for a second like it copied the image, but it then it won't let me paste and it's like it copied nothing at all.

I don't see where I can edit posts but I also want to add that I can click cut(or do ctrl+x) and it will cut the image, but again it won't give me the option to then paste what I cut.

I have similar experiences with another application. There the copy/paste does not work 100% of the time. Don't know what causes it not to work.

Well should I try reinstalling it, using different options or something?

Does copy and paste work from other X applications to Wine?

Between X applications?

From native applications to Wine?
