Copied 2 colours image pasted as B & W !

Post by Clo »

• If I copy a part of an image having only two colours, it's rendered as 1-bit B & W
when I use "Import Clipboard", that's pretty annoying…

• Maybe is it a defect of Win ? It seems that either XnView doesn't parse the colours,
or it doesn't use the right clipboard format…

• When I paste the same content in GFIE, I get the colours alright…

:?: Any clue ?

- I can confirm !
The same clipboard content displays the colours alright in GFIE and in PaintShopPro (version 9) when pasted.

:) Hello !

• I show the sample here below, and that I get when I select >> copy the lower part - only the |_| part,
without the single differently coloured pixel :

¤ Notes :  
1. The images above are captured as blown up by 600%.
2. If you copy let's say, a selection containing only pure white and pure red and import it, it's OK.

Just a guess that you are using 16 bit color for your video hardware. ?? :)

:) Hello !

• You might have it, it's on the test-skin main bitmap I sent you one hour later…

• That seems fixed up in the 1.93.6 RC, though.
