Desinger Cut-n-Paste

Post by DaveLClarkI »

I've been copying and pasting widgets between designer sessions for a while now and was surprised, today, when it wouldn't work. At first I thought it might be a bug -- since I just upgraded to 4.8.2 and then to 4.8.3 this past Sunday evening. But, then I noted that I was in two different browser windows and not just two different tabs in the same browser window. After confirming that copying between two different tabs in the same browser still works, I was curious if this is a working-as-designed limitation? In other words, is it a fact that the Designer does not support copy-n-paste between two different browser windows? Thanks.

Profound UI uses the HTML5 localStorage feature to copy/paste info between browser tabs. Using JavaScript, it is possible to attach an event to detect when localStorage changes in another browser tab, but it looks like this is not possible for separate browser windows.
