Clipboard actions do not work if -DisablePlatformInterfaces is set via command line argument.

[shiftyscales]

Describe the bug?

Pasting while in desktop mode is currently not working at all. I was seemingly also unable to copy images / record URLs from the inventory, etc.

To Reproduce

Be in desktop mode and attempt to paste into Res, e.g. image, link, video, etc. by either Control+V or the facet.

Expected behavior

Clipboard interactions should work properly while in desktop.

Log Files

Nothing of note seemed to be in the log file- I pressed the debug keybind between attempts at pasting through both Control + V and the facet.

@ProbablePrime has expressed he'll be looking at this one.

I think this is more complicated than the initial issue suggests, because I just tested this and it works fine for me on the latest build.

I can paste things no problem:

It might be specific to some things, but I think some work needs to be done to isolate what's breaking it on your end.

Are you sure they don't spawn at all and not just spawn at a weird position because of the regression in #3534?

Yes, I'm certain- I am not spawning even import dialogs which typically are placed right in front of you, and nothing is appearing in the hierarchy of the world. That is a separate issue.

[shiftyscales]

With help from @ chundelac I seem to have found the primary culprit in my case, @Frooxius.

I had recently added the -DisablePlatformInterfaces specifically to fully disable all Discord / Steam integrations as the description in the patch notes indicated- but it seems like it also prevents all clipboard interaction / functionality too.

[ProbablePrime]

Disabling the platform interfaces will also disable the "Windows Platform Connector" which handles Cipboard interactions for windows.

So technically, this is "intentional" and by design.

We'd need to add features that allow for more granularity of control on which interfaces you'd need or not need etc.

In my case, I do not have -DisablePlatformInterfaces set, and clipboard actions do not work at all.

And it does not exist in your config.json either @lxw404? Do you have Steam or Resonite running as an elevated (admin) app?

[Frooxius]

Oh... yeah in that case that's actually correct behavior. You're asking it not to interface with the system - so it's doing that, which means it can't interface with the clipboard either.

More granular settings could help with this. I'd probably make that a separate issue though.

And it does not exist in your config.json either @lxw404? Do you have Steam or Resonite running as an elevated (admin) app?

I have never created/changed config.json, nor do I run Resonite as admin.

[shiftyscales]

Would you mind creating a new issue, @lxw404? The cause of my issue was determined- so it sounds like yours might be something else failing.
