Re: [Bug-gnubg] Copying Gnubg id to clipboard

[Michael Petch]

HI Blu,

I contacted Xavier (XG developer) and he mentioned that he supports the
pasting of multiline Gnubg ID¹s into XG (And has for some time). I tried It
on my XG Version 1.11 and it does work. He has suggested that GnuBG should
probably support the pasting of XG ID's (Seems like a reasonable request).
This was Xaviers response to my email:

Hi Michael
 
XG handles both formats. The import of Gnu Id was done long ago and
initially was only accepting the 2 lines format. When it changes in GnuBG I
added the support of a single line.
 
I can copy the text form the mail your forwarded in XG without problem. I
also copy from GnuBG (latest build just to make sure) a position to the
clipboard and paste it successfully in XG.
 
Maybe the user did not select the full string, for a 2 lines position it
important to copy the full line including the ³Position ID² part.
 
It could be that I am missing something but as far as I can see all is well
and good importing from GnuBG to XG (btw the reverse would be nice feature
to add in GnuBG ;-) )
