    You can set this with XaReg.

    copy/paste does not work in edge - get the black background Rik mentioned

    not in a position to try chrome or other browser at the moment

    @gary - I think that is the registry key change mentioned by acorn

    Precisely. It is just a lot easier to make the change in RegEdit. And amazingly, more than 10 years after Bill Taylor (who created RegEdit along with John Horn and Steve Ledger) died it still works with all versions.

    I'm using the same browser for XDP11 as I am for the other versions.

    Yet, XDP11 works fine and the other versions do not.

    UPDATE: If I copy and paste from MS Edge, it does not work. But, if I copy and paste from Firefox, it does work into Designer Pro+.

    Bug Re: Copy & Paste with transparent background

    @Xara...

    The only browsers that work for me for transparency copy & paste are Firefox and ToR.

    It is a FAIL with XaReg > Paste Bitmaps with Alpha.

    It is a FAIL with Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro Sub x64\17\Options\Clipboard\PasteAlpha.

    It is a FAIL with a
    copy from another application (IrfanView, Windows Snipping Tool, Affinity family).


    It works with a file drag from a folder.

    It works with an Import from web address.

    It works with a Placeholder > Replace with graphic file.

    This is mostly expected I believe

    https://superuser.com/questions/2377...ground-instead

    Snippet tool doesn't support transparency.

    In these cases, you might have to save the file first and then open or import that into Xara (right-click > save or similar).

    edit: if we don't have one I'll create an article for this

    Depends on the application you are copying from, what information it provides to the clipboard.
