RouterOS The Dude

Subject says it all. When my Dude is open from time to time Office clipboard wont work. It erase what’s in it instead of copying the new data.

Any idea

Thanks

No one knows?

Yeah I know this has to be a bug in the dude and how it interacts with the clipboard.

When you use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V in the dude you can copy and paste objects between maps.
They must have had to add some hook to the clip board process to handle “Dude Objects” correctly.

When the dude is running it breaks other programs that also hook the windows clipboard.

What is probably going on is the hook from the dude is not passing the handle to the next hook or something like that…

Anyhow enough blabbering - This shouldn’t be too hard to have the developers fix.
Normis can you add this problem to bug fixes please!!!

I use Multi-Monitor tool bar, can’t remember last time I rebooted but when I restarted the toolbar(it has a clipboard history), it started working. Then I restarted the dude client then Multi-Monitor clipboard broke… I restarted the toolbar again then copied and pasted objects in the dude and the toolbar clipboard didn’t break. So it maybe your clipboard program has to be started after the dude.

It might be so because it worked for a few days then it started doing the same thing again. Not too sure why but will try what you said.

Thanks it seem to be working fine that way. I’ll just have to get use to open Dude in first :slight_smile:

One very interesting thing about copying objects in the dude is the ability to directly copy and paste the XML that creates the probe or function into a message so others can just use your object with out any typing… For example if you copy the below probe and paste it into your probes panel you will have a new probe called High Latency.

<?xml version="1.0" ?> 13 21270181 HighLatency1 8 array_element(ping(device_property("FirstAddress")),0) if (array_element(ping(device_property("FirstAddress")),0) < 100 , "" , "High Latency ") array_element(ping(device_property("FirstAddress")),0) ms

Unfortunatly when copying and pasting probes you also get all the RoundRobinData. So to clean up the XML… remove everything after and the last .
If you copy a probe and you don’t clean up the XML then paste it back in to your dude the probe will appear on every device the original probe was installed on. This certainly can be called a feature… :sunglasses:
