Wenlin Tips

Using the clipboard (Crossover 6.1.0)

Clipboard pasting into Wenlin Copying text/characters from a Linux/X window to paste into Wenlin window is inconsistent...it takes a long and variable time for the current Linux clipboard content to be accessible by the Wenlin clipboard. The 'workaround solution' is to open notepad.exe in the same bottle as Wenlin

1. Use the CrossOver configuration program, 'Configure' the Wenlin bottle, 'Control Panel' tab, click 'Run... (in bottle)', type 'notepad.exe'). Alternatively, your application menu may have 'Run a Windows command' as an item in the 'Crossover' Menu.

2. Paste the clipboard contents into notepad.exe first. Chinese characters may not be displayed properly in notepad.exe unless a font is selected in notepad.exe which can display Chinese.

3. You do not need to copy the text which has just been pasted into Notepad, just pasting into the Notepad seems to make the most recent clipboard entry available for WenLin to paste into Wenlin's own window.

This convoluted procedure is not required with Crossover 7.1.0, i.e. the bug has been fixed.
