Could not locate text in the clipboard!

Post by jlavallet »

I'm getting an unexpected error after using Exam Diff Pro for many years now. When I try to use the "Select current clipboard contents as 1 file" button, and error dialog pops up and says "Could not locate text in the clipboard!" I am sure that I have copied text and not something like an image.

Another issue I'm seeing is I cannot type in either of the First or Second filename fields. I have to use the browse button to locate my files.

Both of these behaviors have been going on now for about three months and I have lived with them out of frustration for not having time to address them. Exam Diff Pro is a great tool and I rely on it for code merges and other such activities. Can you offer some help?

Both of these problems seem to be rather Windows issues. For the first one (clipboard), when you get the error, open Notepad and try pasting there. Does it work?
