Problems with copying from one saved file to another

Postby Ivanych » Tue Sep 09, 2008 2:37 am

Hi to all

I have two saved documents on disk with simple objects, drawing by bezier curves. I open documents and try to copy part of one document to another, using menu, or Ctrl+C, but I cann't do this, without any message from Inkscape.
But, when I use one of this saved documents, and create a new document from menu I can do this without any problems.
I work under WinXP SP2, Inkscape 0.46. Files in Inkscape SVG format.
Is anybody have this problem? Or it's my configuration problem?
Thank you!

C+P only works between the same instance in 0.46, so if you have 2 instances it wont work.
To make sure you only get one instance, open one then use hte open icon in that doc to open the other, if your double clicking in explorer it'll be 2 instances.

Once you open one from the other it should work ok.
