I was in the HTML Pane and I clicked on the Paste Special button. Then I choose Format as HTML. When I choose this selection I get the following error.

I also clicked on the Debug button and I get the following.

I also lost the previous 2 records that I had added. The crash occurred when I was adding a 3rd record for today. I did not lose my work that was entered today on other grids just the one grid that had the error window open up.

Hi John,

Sorry for this issue. A couple of questions:

Does it happen systematically in that grid ?
Does it only happen with a specific content being pasted ?
Can you reproduce it in a sample IQBase ?

Does it happen systematically in that grid ?

It happened once then the application closed. I opened it again entered 2 records with no issues. Then on the 3rd record it crashed a second time just as before.

Does it only happen with a specific content being pasted ?

It happen both times will copy text from OneNote and copying it into IQ

Can you reproduce it in a sample IQBase ?
I have not tried to reproduce it in a sample IQBase so I'm not sure. I wonder if maybe the text that I am trying to paste is corrupted.

Hi John,

I tried to reproduce the issue and did succeed a few times, though not in a predictable fashion and not on my dev. setup. I'll continue to check though

That said, I experimented with copy / paste of Onenote (metro app) and have found a serious issue which may be of interest to you:

If the copied area contains images, strokes and other non-text elements, Onenote generates an image file, and the HTML in the clipboard references that file. In such cases, the pasted content cannot be edited, only scaled
But it seems that file names get reused
Within Onenote, it seems OK, but when pasting into IQ or other editors, such as Word or this web site, the tmp file gets deleted and written over.
In my case, the tmp files are stored in : C:\Users\PPL\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Office.OneNote_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TempState\msohtmlclip and typically have a name like: clip_image001.jpg

What this means, is that right now, pasting into the HTML pane is risky. What I need to do, is to grab a copy of the image(s), and paste a reworked clipboard content with references to the newly created image(s)

Needless to say, it isn't on high priority right now...

I was able to copy and create 2 other records before the failure. I wonder if on the failure OneNote created an image for that one instead of just text. I have no images at all and it is just plain text. Thanks for looking into the issue. Even though it is a low priority at least it is a known issue.

Hi John,

If it is plain text, why not paste as Text instead ?

OneNote was coding the text as HTML which was very helpful. It eliminated me having to code the text into HTML. I went ahead and copied as text and pasted as text and I had no issues.

Thanks,

John
