Important: Clipping and UAC

Postby CintaNotes Developer » Wed Nov 03, 2010 5:59 am

Hello everyone,

I've recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7, and noticed that with default UAC settings CN can't clip text (when run in non-elevated mode). I wonder why no one reported this before. Please tell whether it's true for you and whether you have a problem with that. Thanks!

I think you might find that as most of us on here are knowledgeable when it comes to computers,(probably to do with the software only just being out of beta, and people avoiding software in beta) most of the vista and 7 users will probably have deactivated UAC this might be why we are not seeing the issue.

Agreed. I have Win7 and have deactivated UAC. Nod

I see. Well, by now I hope the user base is large enough so that every major problem gets reported, so I guess this issue can be put on ice for now.

Thanks guys!

GoD, thanks for the reminder. But as I see it, the problem is not exactly the same - when UAC is turned on, CN can't clip even from programs run without admin privileges.

Strange. Here it's working.
I cannot clip from higher privileged windows.
