Yes, I'm going to use that event now.
However, is there a better way of testing whether an object has been copied,
or whether there
is something on the clipboard?
At the moment I use:
if event.newName.startswith('copy'),
and this is of course only the case when the object is copied to somewhere
in the same folder.
I thought of testing with event.oldParent, but this always seems to be None,
whether the object is copied or newly created.On Fri, Jun 6, 2008 at 3:34 PM, Maurits van Rees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Arno Blumer, on 2008-06-06: > > Eventually I used the ObjectAdded event and tested to see whether a copy > has > > been made: > > Ah, of course, I just remembered something.
