Clipboard command no longer works

Help & Support
1

Greetings Gurus,
This command no longer pastes text (it use to)
dopusrt.exe /cmd Clipboard PASTE AS=ask jpg:100 USESEL

The command syntax is wrong. The “jpg:100” part will be parsed as an argument, not a parameter, but there s no such argument.

I removed the JPEG arg.
Clipboard PASTE AS=ask USESEL
That does not paste text either.

That command works OK here, and shows a prompt asking for the name to paste the data as (which is what AS=ask does).

Where are you running it from? A hotkey? Context menu?

Does the standard Edit > Paste menu item work? If not, something may be blocking dopus.exe from accessing the clipboard.

Does pasting work into anything else?

I'm using a toolbar button, and it's actually grayed out.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<button backcol="none" display="both" label_pos="right" textcol="none">
	<label>New Button</label>
	<icon1>#newcommand</icon1>
	<function type="normal">
		<instruction>Clipboard PASTE AS=ask USESEL </instruction>
	</function>
</button>

Is there anything in the clipboard to paste?

Maybe something is blocking dopus.exe from accessing the clipboard. (Overzealous antivirus, for example.)

Is a folder selected? That's mandatory when you use USESEL.

That's it, thanks! Removed Usesel
