Formatting lost on some clips!? (from Zim wiki)

    I use the Zim desktop wiki (written in Python). When I copy formatted text from Zim I can paste it with formatting as long as the clip is not overwritten (thus in 1st position of Clipangel). As soon I have another clip on the clipboard the formatting is lost.

    So Clipangel does not seem to store the formatting for that type of clips. I looked for settings which could affect this, but could not find a solution for that problem. Is that a bug or unwanted behaviour? Is there a way to fix that?

    Show screenshot of ClipAngel window exactly before you paste clip from it

    Thanks for the quick answer. I just have seen that it is not always the case that a clip looses formatting, when going to the second position. But I surely loose formatting on some clips. Here is an example.

    Second icon in row shows clip data type. On your screenshot all clips except one on top have no formatting. Only clip type "rtf" and "html" have it.

    Thanks a lot. I understand. Zim uses plain text files internally, but displays those with formatting (wiki-style...) I thought the formatting will get copied to the clipboard, but it seems the difference in pasting with or without formatting is related to Zim and not Clipangel.

    EDIT: Problem solved. Copy with formatting works indeed when copy and paste happens directly after the other. Otherwise I have to choose copy-wiki(format) and that clip gets always pasted correctly with formatting in Vim showing up. In Clipangel it is displayed like the plain ASCII wiki-formatted file.

    Your help and work on that program is much appreciated. When it is possible to donate again (Paypal in Russia) I will do so. :)
