I'm on windows 7-64 and Gimp 2.8.22. For a couple of years or so, I've been using a gadget called Clipboarder installed from 8 GadgetPack Tools without any problems but a problem has crept up that I believe is being caused by Gimp.
To save storage space, I have been removing all my movie DVDs and BDs and the cover art from their individual cases, scanning the cover art and the discs, then storing the disks in CD/DVD storage cases. The scans I've been converting to multipage .tif images.
Up 'til a couple of days ago, I had been using Gimp to rotate and color correct the scans of the discs without any problems. I would drag the image to Gimp, rotate it (it's far easier to rotate the image straight than to try to align the disc perfectly straight in the scanner), then use the auto correction in Levels in Colors to correct the colors I'm color blind so auto correct is a lot safer for me). After correction, I would overwrite the original image, then delete the image in Gimp.
When creating the multipage .tif, after typing in the movie title for the filename, I would copy the title so I wouldn't have to retype it in the file's Title tag. A couple of days or so ago, Clipboarder stopped showing what I had copied into Win 7's clipboard. After fooling around some, I suspected it might be Gimp causing the problem so I would copy something after each step I took when using Gimp to correct the disc scans. Clipboarder would continue to work fine until I Closed All in Gimp after overwriting the original file; then Clipboarder would no longer show any new additions. Eventually, after shutting down Gimp, I would get Clipboarder back.
What's even more baffling is I haven't made any changes to my workflow or any program settings so why would this problem suddenly crop up and what can I do to fix it? This is driving me nuts!
