Copy/paste map sections between projects

[Shaz]

Does this not work? I thought it did.

I can copy sections of maps to other maps within the same project, but if I try to copy to a different project, it doesn't work. The selection rectangle when I move over the map in the new project is only one tile, rather than the correct width/height I've copied from the original project.

Tilesets are correct, and the map is set to use the same tileset.
1.6.1

How do you do it? From window to window? That would be no wonder it doesn't work, because it doesn't copy it to clipboard, but to its own chunk of memory. You have to load projects in one window back and forth, then it will work. Or at least it does for me on 1.6.2

Yes, two projects open in two different windows.

It's worked for me before. That's why I wrote it in the instructions for this thread:

because the editor is mono-task, which means it has it's own interval of memory allocated to one project, on load.
AND, the paint tool doesn't allow copy to clipboard, it just duplicates on selection.

what you can do, is copy whole maps between running applications, but not tiles.
