woof woof!

in a past days I have been busy to made several graphic works and I have discovered a very strsange clipboard behaviour (maybe a bug?)

in Puppy (3.01) clipboard seems not handle images, when I Open mtpaint, press

- EDIT
- COPY

and then I Open another program (like OpenOffice) to paste image in clipboard (or image that i believe in its) no image is!

how solve this problem?

From the programming side, clipboard handling in X Window System is unbelievably complex - image clipboard, doubly so. For that reason, mtPaint uses its own internal clipboard, which isn't connected to X clipboard.
I hope to remedy this situation in version 3.30, but before that's done, copy-paste of images either from or to mtPaint would not work.
