|
|
I have a project that demands working with a Windows app in Parallels. That package generates what I think is a bitmap image to the clipboard. Unfortunately, the clip does not paste in translation to the Mac side. In Curio, it pastes as a blank "sheet" indicating something. In TextEdit and GraphicsConverter, it is unrecognizable. It does paste in a companion Windows app.
I think the copy format is bitmap, though it map have something proprietary with it.
Can anyone suggest a Mac app that will capture the Windows clipboard bitmap and then allow me to translate it to Curio. Alternatively, if this is a general issue of Mac apps not supporting bitmap captures from the clipboard, I would request this as a feature for Curio.
Thanks!

| You might want to see if Preview can open it via Preview's File > New From Clipboard. |

| I assume you can see the image in your parallels running application. Could you do a screen capture of it from the Curio snapshot tool? |

Preview does not open it (meant to add that to the list).

Screen shots would likely work but are a bit of a kludge and suffer losses versus getting to just the bitmap image.
