[ameguira]

Hi everybody

I am fighting with Livecode to find a way to copy an image from an image object (which is filled by a user action through a popup menu) to the clipboard

Many thanks for your help

Hi Jean Marc

I am using Livecode opensource on windows

This code works

lock screen
import snapshot from image "Imagefield"
set the clipboarddata["image"] to the last image
hide last image

I do not understand why copy image "Imagefield" doesn't work for me

All the best

Are you trying to use the path name instead of the image object name? If so, that is the problem. If the image is showing, the the path name is correct.
