Re: Can't copy and paste between diagrams in Windows?

["Michael Ross" <michael e ross gmail com>]

I did the Windows thing and double clicked on an existing diagram in a
file explorer window.  The OS started a second thread of DIA and that
seems to be the problem.  If I call up the second DIAgram using the
DIA file/open function it works OK. So I see how too manage it now.

I gather then that copy and paste do not work with the windows
clipboard?  If the clipboard was used it would make no difference how
many threads of DIA were used.  Am I right?
