Editing metadata
I am a little embarrassed to ask this.
I often find something from another program or the internet that I want to copy/paste to the comments field in the metadata editor. Here I can edit many things like bold, italic underscore, adjustment and so on. But I cannot change the size of the text without going to the html source tab. I often paste the new text to a program like notepad in order to get rid of the html code. Am I missing something obvious? |

You can paste ignoring HTML markup by right clicking inside the comments field and choose "Paste and match style"

@svenlind - there are various gadgets that will remove html markup from what is in the clipboard, some run as browser addons others as tray applets
Until a couple of years ago I used a single-function program called PureText to paste scrubbed text with a user specified hotkey - I used Ctrl+Alt+V. I now use a multi-function program called Clipboard Fusion to to the same thing, and a lot else besides. BR |

Thank you very much. I will give Puretext a try.
