Is there any way to get Corel Photo-Paint 7 to use its clipboard to bring up the latest screenshot using just the Print Screen button on the keyboard rather than illegible text of something that I apparently copied earlier before? I had somehow been able to do it for years on my old HP PC (Windows 7), but ever since I got a new Dell PC (Windows 10) on June 21st, whenever I just hit the Print Screen on my keyboard to make a screenshot, all I get on my clipboard in CPP7 is some illegible text rather than the latest screenshot (image). This has been maddeningly frustrating for me, so someone, anyone PLEASE HELP - I would appreciate it tremendously. THANKS very much.
Alt + Print Screen for the app window.
Don't know how anyone can live without a clipboard manager. I'm using Ditto but there are others that are not free with perhaps more features.
At least then you can copy copy copy > paste and have both a clipboard history and see what is in that mysterious place.
Absolutely essential as far as I'm concerned. It's been developed over 10 years so it is very stable.

You can add further types of support. Just copy, in this case from Draw and add those types. Not that this is necessary but you can do it.
I never in 30 years used a clip board manager.
POOR YOU! FYI I always enjoy our banter, albeit at times adversary.
You never have to quote an article when you need to copy the quote, author, date and URL? And paste that into a referencing system like Endnote? I guess you haven't done any uni studies in the last 20 years.
Copy, copy, copy, copy >other app> paste paste paste paste.
As opposed to copy >other app>paste >original app> copy >other app> paste >original app> copy >other app>paste >original app> copy >other app>paste >original app> copy >other app>pasteAre you getting it now?
It also has a history of what you have copied held in a database. Mine is set to the default of 500 last copies. And you can search that history. "What was that thing I copied last week on xxx?"
And you can shift paste which removed the previously copied formatting. That saves heaps of time in removing formatting that is unwanted where you are pasting text.
Then copy, copy, copy, copy >other app> paste the 4 selected items in one go.
You know I've talked of this before. I wanted Corel to do some work on it and leverage the filters developed in Draw and PP to convert files on the clipboard.
Copy this, paste in PNG/JPG/AI/SVG etc format.

Clipboard managers make it much easier to re-enter text or anything else that you've recently copied and pasted, adding an array of new capabilities to the default Windows clipboard. Although they differ in features, the typical clipboard manager automatically saves text, images and other items as they are copied to your clipboard, displaying them in a list-style GUI that makes it simple to re-copy or paste something later.
Once you're used to relying on a clipboard manager, it works out similarly as how you become more efficient with multiple monitors or virtual desktops. In this case, knowing you can copy several items before moving on to where you want to paste, performing several copy processes at once lets you save time and clicks, without having to go back and forth between windows or applications.https://www.techspot.com/guides/1665-windows-clipboard-managers-tested/

copy copy copy copy > paste
David, start using Ditto and I swear you will thank me for ever!
As well as that you can share the clipboard over the network. So what you copy on the laptop is available on your networked PC. That's really useful as well.
me too, I never used a clipboard manager
My work flow never required it. I also avoid software until I absolutely require it, there's no free lunch something always bites your butt.
Mates! You would never go back to a dumb clipboard once you do. Windows has some dumb version of a clipboard manager but it would turn you off rather than onto the idea.
Not like it cost you anything, it's open source.
I have had little luck with open source. GIMP is on my system but rarely used. Open source I'vevtried has been more trouble than it was worth.
You are using open source software right now. It's called "the internet".
I have said with GIMP wait for version 3 currently 2.99 beta. They have had a lot they need to recode for a new plugin system... "The focus of this version is to complete the GTK+3 port".
You have to view the roadmap and understand what that means and why.
https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Roadmap
What you get is a known roadmap and a bug tracking system that engages with the developers. We can only wish for that here.
So the question I would ask is "what is the limit of development in an image editor"?
It isn't infinity or is it?
There is a point where open source software reaches a level that 99% of needs are meet.
I'm using LibraOffice, Thunderbird Email, Firefox (prebeta), Ditto, OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) VLC player, Audacity... these tools meet needs just fine.
DaVinci Resolve the free version only lacks a few things I'd like, noise reduction being the main one.
Then Corel, DXO, Luminar AI, VueScan
It's possibly a mistake not to be using Photoshop and Dreamweaver. It's not a great call to not be using Adobe products if you want an "employee" job in Australia. Or MS Office for that matter. Any job advert quotes those as "essential". It's a bit less "Mac" than it was 10 years ago. But perhaps even more Adobe.
I sense that Corel specifically CGS having "secrets" works more against them than being open and transparent. The sorts of secrets CGS has compared to the advantages of being open don't really do much to deal with the real issues of professional market perception. The professional market want to know where you are going and what the current issues are. CGS has a big problem, they are not perceived (here at least) as "industry standard". They need a radical change in openness to address that (as well as other things). Features are not the issue.
