Cannot Copy Card in Project Browser

Post by mrcoollion »

Hello Forum Friends,

I am not able to Copy or even Delete a card in the Project Browser (Windows 10 LC Indy 9.01 and 9.02).
Option Copy is Dimmed (as is option Cut).

I have Cards that function as a Template and I need to be able to clone and rename those Cards.
is there anything I am not aware off or is it indeed a bug? or it there another way of doing this?

Kind regards,

Paul

Can you right click on the card in the PB ?
Right click and...
Right click and...
*Edit 1 - this is 8.1.2 in 'nix, so not sure about Win.
*Edit 2 - since it works in 6.x, i'd vote 'bug'.

Ah, I thought you meant either the edit menu or the buttons along the bottom (lots of duplications eh?)

Well, I'm pretty sure you can still do it in code :wink:

examples
clone field 1
clone the selectedObject
clone this card as "clonedCard"
clone invisible stack "myStack"

Yeah, there are lots of... um... limitations to the Project Browser.
You might want to try a recent build of Navigator instead. It's taken me a bit of time to get used to the UI, but it does all the things the PB should.

Thanks for the help fellowship of the LCérs,

I already have Navigator running (month or so) but could get used to the interface. :shock:
I need to spend some time on it to get comfortable... :oops:

I am able to proceed with building my applications so thanks for the support and I will enter a bug report ....

Regards,

Paul

Shacked the LC team with a bug report on this... now lets wait and see what falls out of the tree.

Thanks again all..
