Bug ID: 37418 Summary: Unable to paste images from linux clipboard to Wine apps workspace (affects Photoshop, Powerpoint etc.) Product: Wine Version: 1.7.29 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: fincer89@hotmail.com Distribution: ---
Note: This is not the same bug than 7372 (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7372) as it deals mostly with text/html issue.
Pasting a raster image from the clipboard or from a website (using native linux web browser like Firefox) to the Photoshop workspace doesn't work. The paste button stays greyed out, no matter of what.
The workaround, which is basically saving the image to the computer and opening to the Photoshop, is a cumbersome, less user-friendly and time consuming method: you need to save the image file and look for it from a local directory structure and then open it. Much more complicated than just copying the image to the linux clipboard and paste it to the Photoshop, isn't it?
Very desirable Wine implementation would be a support for copy-pasting images from native linux programs to Windows-based programs straightforwardly without extra tricky steps needed.
This is marked as a bug because the image pasting function is one of the fundemental functions in the program and, at the moment of writing this bug report, it does not work as it should do.
All comments and ideas are welcome.
