Copy & Paste with transparent background
As far back as Designer Pro 11, you could copy and past an image with a transparent background.
I'm not sure about the in-between versions, but XDP16, XDP17 and Designer Pro+ don't seem to allow this.
The transparent section is pasted as a black background.
I'm sure I know the registry setting and I have changed that.
But, still cannot copy and past an image with a transparent background into XDP16, XDP17 and Designer Pro+.
Does anyone know if there's a fix for this?
Re: Copy & Paste with transparent background
Rik, no guarantees but in the Registry there is a setting Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro Sub x64\17\Options\Clipboard\PasteAlpha.
Put its value to 1 when Pro+ is closed.
Other XDAs have similar paths.
Report back.

Re: Copy & Paste with transparent background
I just bought XWDP 17 during the cyber sales so this might affect me as well. I tried dragging & dropping (from Windows Explorer) and copying & pasting between open documents and from XDP 15 to XWDP 17. Transparency was kept in all instances. But when I checked the PasteAlpha registry key, it was set to '0' (this is also the case in XDP 15). So, there must be another setting involved as well....

Copying images with transparency should work, where are you copying the image from Rik?

Hi, Rob.
Try this site: wow emoji at DuckDuckGo
I can copy and paste one with a transparent background into DPX11 without any problems.
But, not into or DXP16 or DPX17 or Designer Pro+.
Acorn: That is the setting I changed. And restarted my Laptop and still no difference.
Re: Copy & Paste with transparent background
I have even tried Bhavesh's suggestion at https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...211#post604211.
@Rik & @Rob-Xar - I tried and failed.
If you use File > Import from Web address with https://www.techhunt.co.in/wp-conten.../Imoji-Wow.png, it works.
If you save to a file and drag into the XDA, it works.
If you copy from another application (IrfanView, Windows Snipping Tool, Affinity family), it fails.

Well, that doesn't seem to work for me. And I've used the link from my own web browser. And I've used the link from your post.
Neither work. I get an error that says 'There was a problem downloading the URL...'
And why add more and more steps into the workflow.
There should not be a need to save the file first and then have to import it... etc.
Copy & Paste should work,as it used to before.
I'm hoping this can be fixed.
Re: Copy & Paste with transparent background
I went to the image at https://www.techhunt.co.in/wp-conten.../Imoji-Wow.png that acorn posted, right clicked the image and selected copy image and pasted it into pro+ - no problem with transparency [and i have not changed registry key] - this was done in FireFox 83.0, maybe there is a browser issue here?

Strip off the Protocol (http// or https://).
Yet another Xara "feature".
