Issue #1:
Images put on the clipboard can't be previewed anymore.

Steps to reproduce:
Open Paint, make some squiggly lines, select all, Ctrl+C. Now you have an image on the clipboard. Now try to do 'Show Preview Popup' using ClipboardFusion. Nothing is displayed.

Issue #2:
Putting the exact same image on the clipboard creates duplicate entries:

Steps to reproduce:
Open Paint, make some squiggly lines, select all, Ctrl+C. Now you have an image on the clipboard. Open ClipboardFusion's Clipboard Manager and notice the single entry for that image. Now, in Paint, hit Ctrl+C a few more times. Open ClipboardFusion's Clipboard Manager and notice the many duplicate entries for that same image.

Issue #3:
Pasting an image using Clipboard Manager creates a duplicate of it.

Open Paint, make some squiggly lines, select all, Ctrl+C. Now you have an image on the clipboard. When you view the Clipboard Manager, there is just a single entry in position 1 for that image. Now copy some text to the clipboard. Now in Clipboard Manager there are 2 entries: the text in position 1 and the image in position 2. Now open an application such as Word, and using the Clipboard Manager select the image in position 2 so that the image gets pasted into Word. Now have a look at the Clipboard Manager again. Instead of having 2 things in the list, it now has 3 things in its list. 2 copies of the image (i.e. the original one plus a duplicate that has just been created) and the text.

These are pretty basic things that don't work in CF 6.1. I wonder how come no-one else has noticed, especially since they actually go back several versions to before the final version of 6.0 was released. I've reported these issues to Support a long time ago, but to this day are still unresolved. So that's why I've now created a forum post to bring more attention to them.

We can't seem to reproduce #1 on our end anymore, but we can reproduce #2 & #3. We have some ideas on what might be going on there, so we'll take another look at it.

Thanks!

Hi Owen / Support,

Can you please confirm whether these issues have been addressed in recent versions of ClipboardFusion? I'm still running v6.0 Beta 6 because each time I'd upgraded to any newer version (anywhere from later beta versions of 6.0 up until the 6.1 Final) I had to downgrade again each time to avoid these bugs, and it would waste my time. I'd really like to get back to running the latest versions again, but I'd appreciate it if you could tell me if these issues are now resolved.

I took the time to do these tests again. So I've just upgraded from CF 6.0 Beta 6 to CF 6.2. Here are my findings:

Issue #1 is still an issue for me. I have a trigger that runs automatically when anything is copied to the clipboard and it issues the command 'HotKey: Show Preview Popup'. Whenever I send image data to the clipboard now, I get no automatic preview popup. Furthermore, even if I manually hit the hotkey assigned to 'Show Preview Popup' I still get no preview popup for image data. So for me this is something that immediately stops working after upgrading to the new version. For text data, the preview popups still work fine.

Issue #2 appears to be resolved.

Issue #3 appears to be mostly resolved. However, there is still a problem with it. With the text data in position 1, and the image data in position 2, if I use the Clipboard Manager to paste the image (by selecting it), then the image gets put onto the clipboard (and pasted into the target application) but doesn't move into position 1 in the Clipboard Manager. I do have the option 'Show Clipboard changes made by ClipboardFusion' enabled, so this is clearly a bug (which I don't believe was present in the earlier version I was using).

There is also a new bug I noticed after upgrading to CF 6.2. Now, when I hit the hotkey for 'Clear Clipboard Contents' and watch the tray icon to see it change from 'full' to 'empty', it takes several seconds to take effect (i.e. for me to see the change to the tray icon). In the earlier version, it would take effect instantly.

Please let me know if you require any further information. I really hope these issues can be fixed so that I don't have to roll back to CF 6.0 Beta 6 again.

I was able to reproduce all of those here so I've added them to our list.

Thanks!

I'll add a few more bugs:
Items disappear from Clipboard Manager.
Clicking the title bar to drag the window shrinks the window.
Items in the list suddenly reduce in font size. If I close and restart CF it's ok again.

I'll try and get a video capture.
Video now attached.
Font shrinks as shown and restores when CF closed/reopened in pics.

Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info? Here are the steps:

  • Open the ClipboardFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button
  • Reply with the file attached

For the items disappearing, are they getting added to the history and then instantly removed?

This is likely due to the difference in DPI between your monitors, I can't seem to reproduce it here though. Does it happen after something specific, like waking from sleep?

No, typically if I try to move the window after the system has booted, it'll resize.
If I close CF and restart it, move the window and it'll resize.

I moved the clipboard manager window to the primary screen and closed CF. Restarted it, opened CM window, dragged it and it didn't resize. Tried 6 times and it's fine. Do it on the 2nd screen and problem!
So maybe it it is a screen resolution/scaling issue.

Could you send a full desktop screenshot showing where the Clipboard Manager window opened on the second screen when the scaling level is wrong? I still can't seem to reproduce this issue here :(
