Clipboard Text.txt

Help & Support
1

Hi guys,

When copying items of text and pasting into a lister, a text file is created called Clipboard Text.txt.

Is it possible to change this name...? Clipboard Text.txt just doesn't suit me at times.

I appreciate there will be a solution using a button but I was hoping I could achieve this simply by pressing CTRL-V (my preferred method of pasting) instead.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

Roly.

Change your Ctrl-V hotkey to run this and you can enter the name you want whenever you paste text or images:

Clipboard PASTE AS=ask

(When pasting files it still functions normally and won't prompt you for anything.)

Excellent... but can I set a name instead...? I want the pasted file to be called "_Clipboard.txt" so it always appears at the top of the lister.

If not, your solution above will be fine. Thanks.

Thanks Leo! This is why I love this forum. I have wanted to do this for years, never thought of how before now. I just replaced "ask" with my file name, and it just works perfectly! Thanks a lot!

Then use this:

Clipboard PASTE AS=_Clipboard

Opus will append the appropriate file extension (.txt, .bmp, etc.) automatically.

Thanks Leo, perhaps with a little bit of experimenting I could have worked that one out :smiley:

Thanks for that one.

Now all I need to do is to work out how to paste in with a filename that emulates the pathname and removes unusable characters.

But this sets me on the right track.
