Copy & Paste with transparent background

[Rik]

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?

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+.

progress then... up to a point

it looks to me like in edge the website itself may be the culpret, but i am no expert, acorn would know more

@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.

P.S. This Thread should be moved to the Dear Xara... Forum

This is mostly expected I believe

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

[handrawn]

so why does it work with firefox... ? [and apparently ToR]

[Rob-Xar]

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

[handrawn]

copying from firefox to an app is what we were discussing

you mention snippet tool - does this mean ffox does not use snippet ?
