WinXP SP3
PMV v3.71 Sometimes, often when copying a large selection to the clipboard (~4000x4000 pixels, 24-bit), the clock mouse cursor works as normal, but the clipboard is not populated with the data, and no error is displayed. (Test: I open a 2nd instance of PMV and attempt to paste into a new image, but the Paste option is greyed out. Same for pasting into CS3.) I am unable to find a reproducible sequence of steps to obtain this problem, but I have seen it intermittently and more than ten times. I reboot to clear the problem. I note it here in case others have the issue as well. -------------------- |

Adding the "/3GB" switch to boot.ini did not seem to change the symptom here: copying a large section of a large image to clipboard does not work 100%.
My workaround has been to crop, save, Undo, then File->New->PMView Window, and open the saved crop there. However, this doesn't work as smoothly when what I desire is a direct copy to CS3. The clipboard would be a lot faster

The clipboard would be a lot faster I just copied a 5000x5000 image to the clipboard and pasted it into CS6 (64-bit). Works fine here with PMView v3.72 64-bit on Windows 7 x64 w/ 4GB RAM. If you work with images this big, it's time to move on to 64 bits! Thanks, Peter -------------------- Peter Nielsen (peter@pmview.com) "If you can dream it, you can do it" JFK.

I do work with images that large, yes. But W7 is not on my To-Do list yet.
Just the cost of a W7 license is scandalous, and I'd have to vet all my existing software against the new OS. I don't do this lightly. FWIW, I don't think saying that "it works for me (on an entirely different OS)" is saying much And, if the copy can't be made, it can't be made. But shouldn't I get a dialogue saying that? (I do get a dialogue saying that, in the OS/2 version . . . right before PMV crashes into the sea  )
