Hello All,

I'm trying to export a polynomial model formula from Model Information dialog box to Excel or R but it can't be copied and pasted (selecting and right-clicking has no effect)

I'm using VStar 2.19.0 under Ubuntu Linix 17.10. Everything else works fine.

Copy & paste

Hi Simon

Can you tell me what happens if you carry out the following sequence:

Left-click inside text area you want to copy
Ctrl-a to select all or use mouse to select text
Ctrl-c to copy
Ctrl-v to paste in a text editor or other application (e.g. R Studio)

Also, can you tell me whether you are able to copy from other dialogs, such as Observation Details, Info, period search results?

One option is to add a Save or Copy button.

Normal select and copy works on the Mac and I think Windows, but I'd appreciate input from others on the latter.

Copy & Paste

Yes, it works!

Right-clicking-->copy-->paste works only on graphics windows ( Light curve, DCDFT, WWZ)

Thanks

What the "select all" button (Edit menu) do? It seems to select nothing...not so important, anyway.

Thanks for help

Copy & Paste

Hi Simon

So, to be clear, the sequence I asked you to try worked okay?

Edit -> Select All is currently only used to select all observations in the Observation tab view. I have considered extending it to apply to other dialogs, along with a generalised Edit -> Copy item.
