A strange issue to make copyQ crash

[witwall]

when copy the text of about dialog, the copyQ crash, I tried twice, the same result.

and when restart copyQ, the clipboard has nothing.

Everything works on my Linux machine. Problem seems to be QtWebKit library on Windows. You can disable "Web Items" in preferences History tab -- that should fix it temporarily.

it ocurrs only when try to copy the content of about dialog, if copy from other window, no this kind issue.

So disabling "Web Items" doesn't help?

It crashes for me with this plugin on Windows but not always -- it seems to depend on content of the copied HTML content (usually if I copy whole HTML page from web browser).

[witwall]

does not help. of course, we seldom copy the content from about dialog of copyQ

I can see what is wrong now. You can copy everything except the SVG logo. That's because I've bundled the binary for Windows with incorrect version of a library in "imageformats" directory. Also there should be probably libraries for other image formats so images can show up in items.

[hluk]

This seems to be unrelated to content of "imageformats" directory. It's either problem with MinGW or Qt.

Anyway I cannot do anything about this right now -- I can wait for next version of Qt or MinGW but it's quiet possible it won't be fixed.

It would be really helpful if someone can try to compile it on Windows with different compiler.

Binary for version 1.7.2 is compiled with different compiler and libraries. Copying the about dialog content seems to be fixed. Please verify. Also -- if possible -- verify if you can copy any HTML content and images. Thanks.

fixed,but I tried copy image from google home page, https://www.google.com/, did not work,

Seems like imageformats directory still contain incorrect versions of plugins or some libs are missing.

Also libs from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555 can be missing on some PCs (supposedly /MT linker flag needs to be specified when building the app).

Damn, I need to find a way to test it on development machine so it doesn't look for libraries on other places other than the installed folder.

I tried to compile the last version(git pull) under windows with Qt5 and MinGW, but got the following error,

after some research, I noticed
The API for native event filters in Qt5 has been improved, the brittle event filter chaining is no longer exposed.

Yes, global shortcuts in libqxt (http://dev.libqxt.org/libqxt/wiki/Home) doesn't support Qt 5. But it should be disabled automatically if building with cmake and qmake.

I would really like to see Qt 5 support in libqxt otherwise I'll have to use other library for system-wide shortcuts (with support for more platforms and Qt 4 and 5).

Well, maybe it's not that difficult to fix but I've tried -- unsuccessfully -- to quick-fix it before.

[hluk]

Oh, wow -- something is just happening in libqxt with Qt 5 support: http://dev.libqxt.org/libqxt/pull-request/3/porting-qxt-to-qt5-step1/diff -- nice :).

[hluk]

Ok, now we have global shortcuts with Qt 5 :) (in master branch). I just needed to implement the part for Linux/X11.

Lot of things have changed. Is this still an issue?
