status of copy/paste from MS Word to MarvinSketch

A student sent me a Microsoft Word document (attached) that contained some structures he had drawn with MarvinSketch. I tried to copy them and paste them into desktop MarvinSketch 14.10.270, but Marvin wouldn't accept them. I thought it was now possible to copy Marvin pictures from Word and paste them into MarvinSketch?

In an attempt to work around the problem, I saved one as a PNG file and tried to open it with Open image..., and I got the error below. 

ERROR: 

Internal error: cannot create new instance for the png importer module

Dear Bob,

To import an image, it has to contain the mrv source of the structure, or you need an optical structure recognizer tool in your environment, for example OSRA.

The images in the attached Word document are not containing any source information, and the attached exception says that you don't have any optical recognizer tool in your environment, so that the import failed.

On the image export dialog there is a checkbox called "Save source", if it is not checked the exported image will not contain the mrv source.

Regards,
István

Ah! Is there any reason to have the Save Source checkbox unchecked by default? Most users (including yours truly) would not begin to think of having to set such an option.

Yes, you are right. It should be checked by default. I've created a ticket in our issue tracking system.

Thanks,
István
