copy error

Post by SpeedPIC32 »

I can't copy code pages in Flowcode 11. Is it a settings issue?

Sorry, but I don't understand. What exactly are you trying to copy?

Here’s the thing: for example, I create a new project as a flowchart. Then I can switch the view to the code view. Using Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C, I can copy the content and paste it into Word, for instance. It was working for me until yesterday. Now, when I press Ctrl+A, everything is highlighted in green, and that’s it. I can now only copy individual bits of text like this one: FCV_GV_ADC_RAW_FLOAT = flt_add(flt_add((flt_mul(flt_fromi(FCV_GV_BYTE_HIGH), 65536.0)), (flt_mul(flt_fromi(FCV_GV_BYTE_MID), 256.0))), flt_fromi(FCV_GV_BYTE_LOW));
FCV_OHM = flt_div(FCV_GV_ADC_RAW_FLOAT, 3355.4434);

Thanks, I see your issue.

In the latest update of Flowcode (v11.0.1), copying icons no longer copies as a text-based format. You can still copy icons and paste them into other flowcharts in Flowcode, but you cannot copy the icon contents directly in a text format for pasting into Word (etc).

However, you can copy the C code text from the Build...View Code menu. This will copy and paste as text.

That used to be much easier than having to search for that section throughout the entire code.
Could the line numbers at least be numbered consecutively to make searching easier?
It could easily amount to 10,000 lines.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll see what we can do to help. Maybe a "show in code window" or "copy as code" menu item would help.
