Copy/paste garbage

Postby Doug R. » Wed Nov 27, 2013 2:15 pm

I can't copy/paste my inventory anymore, because it includes all the buttons when I paste. Here's an example:

Point at this object Take this object Pull this object Store this object Use this material on a project 1080 grams of sailcloth


It didn't use to do this, and I have no idea when this started. Is there any way to fix this or work around it?

It's been like this for a while, I believe... But it's annoying, indeed. Before, it only used to paste spaces instead of the icons...

I had that with Chrome for ages. Firefox is still fine with c/p, so is the default Android browser & the Dolphin browser on mobile.

I paste the list into notepad, then replace ([ctrl]+H) all the garbage with nothing.

This is a browser specific problem and not a Cantr specific one.

An alternative could be to make Cantr have a button to load inventory or objects page into a separate page showing text only.

CantrEnhanced has a 'list' button at the bottom of the objects page... How hard is it to make something like that, also for the inventory page?

Easy. Inventory page is almost a mirror of objects page.

I never noticed that list button before! (probably because it looks like page decoration instead of a button)

I agree. Other text with the same formatting is not clickable.
