Thread: copying sql code to clipboard

hi!

this is more sort of a feature request than anything else. if i do 
_anything_ where there is an "SQL" tag where the generated code is 
displayed and i copy it into clipboard, pgadmin III clears it from 
clipboard when it's closed.

is it possible for pgadmin III to leave anything that's put into 
clipboard there so i can paste it into another application even after i 
close it?

thank you :)

Probably not without extended programming. There's no special 
clear-clipboard-on-leave code in pgadmin3, so it must happen when the wx 
library cleans up the wxTheClipboard instance, buried deep down in 
destructors.

My advice is "don't close pgAdmin3 if you still need its resources". I 
can't imagine anyway why somebody would even *want* to close pgAdmin3... :-)
