Copy text to clipboard
« on: August 24, 2009, 09:06:41 am »
AFAIK in current version there's two ways to share your awesome artifacts, dwarves, legends etc. with internet people:
-Screenshot
-Write text manually

It could be handy if there would be single button (/combination) for copying current screen's text to clipboard. Furthermore there could be button for saving current screen to text file.

Agreed. I dont usually share for this reason alone.

Awesome. But does it show complete artifact descriptions?
No?
Didn't think so.

I'd like to use this opportunity to beat my 'XML'ize everything' drum.

Same with complex names with accents I would rather not look up.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

I can dig it. 

Being able to copy artifact descriptions, dwarf descriptions, as well as (this might be harder) the names of everything would be golden.

But Elves aren't Vegetarians. They eat people.
So they are humanitarians.

Copy to clipboard, export to XML. These ideas I can stand behind.
