When I get images from the clipboard i loose transparency. (Also copying and pasting in Revolution)
Is it a bug of Rev 2.1 , is it a limitation of the program or am I missing something?
To maintain transparency, you'd save yourself a lot of trouble if you would save your images as transparent gif or png images in your paint program. Then import the images from disk, using "Import as control" in Rev's file menu. That will maintain transparency as well as avoid all the resizing problems you were having.
Importing images from disk is the standard way to get them into a stack. In fact, until I answered your questions about it, I had never even tried to paste an image directly into a stack from the clipboard. It seems to be far more work to paste the image than to import it from disk. Pasting requires a lot of extra scripting to get the image into the same state that is produced automatically with an import.
To play devils advocate, it would be nice to be able to paste directly from one app to a Rev app. You might be making a paint program, layout program, multimedia app, or various other apps where this would be useful. The pasting and getting extra white space needs to be Bugzillaed.
For creating your interface in Rev, you should just import the image as normal for the time being. Not sure if cutting and pasting from another app and maintaining transparency is a job for Rev though. I think that is saved to the file and not in the host app's memory.
