Hi All.
Does anyone know of a simple clipboard manager that supports .cdr objects. I've just been playing around with Ditto, but can't get it to support CorelDraw.Just want to be able to store multiple object/s on the clipboard without them being converted to a bitmap. Possible with text and bitmaps but is it possible with CorelDraw objects.
Anyone
Cheers
Sark

I have expanded and refined the macro with the goal of making it more user-friendly and robust. The folder path is no longer hard-coded in the macro. That folder is now specified using a user form, and the folder path is stored in the Registry. So, it's easy to change that folder to organize content for different projects, but it can also be used in a set-and-forget manner if one prefers to always use the same folder.It looks like this in the Macro Manager:
Save_Selection_As_Copy carries out the "Save As Copy, current selection only" to the specified folder.Open_SSAC_Folder opens an Explorer window for the specified folder.Start_SSAC_Settings opens a user form:
Copy Path to Clipboard is there to make it easier to use "Import..." in CorelDRAW to access these files. After the folder path has been placed on the Clipboard, it can be pasted into the "Address Bar" of the dialog for selecting the file to import. After doing that once, of course, "Import..." will go back to the same folder the next time.
I wrote this macro in CorelDRAW X7, so I don't think you could directly use the .GMS file in CorelDRAW 12.
If you would like the code in plain text, though, then please let me know. You could lay out your own user form in Version 12 - just one TextBox and four CommandButtons - with the same names that I used, and then paste in the text for the form events.

Eskimo...That would be appreciated. I'm just learning VBA so it would be a good exercise. I'm still trying Clipboard managers, but apart from saving curves as .ai. I cannot find anything that will behave like Windows Ctrl/C with a multiple save option. Not sure why that should be so difficult. ?
Ariel... So that's the Connect tray. Interesting. A bit like a sophisticated Scrapbook. Still not quite the ease of a simple Clipboard Manager though. And a bit intrusive.
Thanks for posting.
Yes, it was made for replace Scrapbook, the goal is to store all that you need (such as a file, an image, a font and even a fill for use on any other file
The Scrapbook was around for many versions and yet they never included an image preview.
The Symbols library offers a preview, The Object Manager offers a small preview and a relative description, logical for the Scrapbook, but they didn't include that ?
