Hi all.
I just created a new custom transformer, and need to apply it multiple times (10-20 times).
It basically just has a name and three parameters, all of which can be deduced from a database query.
So I thought it to be a good idea to create and paste the definitions from a query result (using some sql magic). Instead of copy/pasting the many transformers as I would normally, editing each by hand.
So I experimented at bit first.
I can copy a transformer from FME Form, and paste it right back. I can also paste the definition into a text editor, as the copied content is just text (FME file syntax).
But when I just copy the complete transformer (without changes) back from the text editor (Ctrl-A,Ctrl-C), FME Form will not paste it into the workspace.
I used Ditto clipboard to look for differencies, and I can barely find any. The two attached images shows the properties for the original and the text editor copy.
The only difference I can find are the slightly different counts for CF_TEXT. The counts for CF_UNICODETEXT are identical.
Any ideas as to the cause of the copy-corruption ?
Is there a trick to get this working ?
Cheers.
