Clipboard Copy stopped working in Far v.5463

Post by xarx »

After update of Far to a newer version, the ClipCopy plugin stopped working. As the problem persists in the latest Far versions, I started to investigate.

The problem began in Far v.5463. In v.5462 it worked correctly.

How to reproduce the problem:
  1. Unpack the Far release newer than v.5462, e.g. from https://github.com/FarGroup/FarManager/ ... .5463.1146.
  • Start Far and locate a file or directory
  • Goto Plugins (F11) -> Clipboard -> Copy
The file is not copied into the clipboard, instead the following error occurs: "Cannot put data to clipboard: 0x800401f0".

I'm using the 32-bit version of Far, Win10 Enterprise x64 version 20H2.

5463 broke multiple plug-ins that were initializing COM incorrectly

1. Initialise COM as multithreaded, it seems to be more correct in our case.
Presumably, it's the case here as well.

Luckily, you don't need plug-ins to cut/copy folders/files to clipboard:

1. Copying files from panels to clipboard reassigned to Ctrl+Shift+C. Ctrl+C goes into the command line as before.

2. Added cutting files from panels to clipboard via Ctrl+Shift+X.
If you need to paste, you're welcome to use the standard EMenu plug-in.

Thank you, I fixed Copy and Cut. I've kept ClipCopy for Paste, as it behaves differently (and IMO better) than Paste in EMenu.
