eccoMagic *should* be running fine under Vista,
 
but,
 
 
there is a wide variety of system options and flavors of Vista,
 
and it may be,
 
 
some mod might be needed in eccoMagic for a paticular Vista setup.
 
 
 
 
If you enter two ITEMS into ecco,  any text,
then copy them (Ctrl+C)
 
if you press ctrl+v  you should paste 2 items into ecco.
 
works right ?
 
now,  if you press shift+ctrl+v   if eccoMAGIC is working,  you should paste one item into ecco that has two lines.
 
 
 
if this doesn't work,
 
try exiting eccoMAGIC and running it as a LAUNCH tool from within Ecco.
 
 
 
 

try this:
 
mark something in firefox,
 
copy it (Ctrl+C)  or (rt click "Copy")
 
go to ecco,
 
decide where you want to paste it,
 
 
press Win+Shift+Ctrl+V
 
 
 
does that help  ?
 
 
 
ps: actually Shift+Ctrl+V will get the result you specifically asked for.   See the eccoMAGIC help (click on tray icon) for more options.

yes,  simply add an auto assign rule looking for URL://#  (old rules)
 
or    condition itt~=\Q<URL://\E(.*?)>   with value {1}  using slang rules.
 
 
 
 
however,
 
from your graphic,  the extension is NOT activated.
 
ie.  neither of the pastes are eccoMAGIC pastes.
 
 
 
 
______________
 
Have attached a copy of what a working eccoMAGIC webcopy paste looks like,  
 
copying and pasting the above.
 
 

If there's anything I can do to help debug this, please let me know.
I want to get this running absolutely!
 
Thank you.

eccoMAGIC via launch tool does definitely not work, I've tried that.
Will test admin settings.
 
At the moment I'm trying to get eccoext to run under wine. (without succes though...)
Thanks

 
 
Let's start with the basics.  
 
 
Attached is a little debug program.    Download and rename without _file extension  (ie. so will be.exe).
 
 
Run and should show you a little message about what program it is attempting to connect with.
 
If you activate Ecco you should see this message,  and be able to press shift+control+c  to copy the message to the clipboard.
 
 
paste back the message shown from Ecco,   (and if that does not work,  let me know and manually type in the message shown).
 
 
 
to exit just double click the tray icon for the program.
 
 
 
 
 
if all works as expected,  please do for ecco with and without the extension running (if possible for you).

1. Without eccoMAGIC:
Reporting from ecco32.exe [ Ecco - [M:\EccoPro\EccoPro\GTD_Erwin_05-12-07.eco] ]
 
2. With eccoMAGIC:
It shows the same message, but am not able to paste it into Ecco
 
 
     

You're very observative! Thx.
I did not notice the reporting tool indeed reports ecco32.exe..
 
I tried, but it stays the same, I'm getting more and more confused..
 
Anyway, winkey+ctrl+shift+v does not work...
What am I doing wrong?

I don't follow you.
To be more specific: what you see in the screenshot:
I first copied several lines of your post on the forum (Firefox)
Next I make a new TLI and execute ctrl-Q.
Next I create a sub item and execute winkey+ctrl+shift+v
Next I test pasting a 2nd time
 
Then I close ecco.
close EM
log ogg vista
log on again
startup ecco32 (NOT eccoext)
and do the same exercise as above
 
Then you get the 'unknown' symbol pasted  
The last winkey+ctrl+shift/v was done while running ecco32.exe.
 
As for your last 2 requests:
Where can I find info on  EMXP and OUTLINE ZOOM?
-> Okay, found them, must say site is very unclear and confusing... Never even noticed these jewels!!
-> Outline Zoom seems to work
-> Having difficulty to get EMXP to function, but off course I don't know where I'm supposed to use it.. Okay, after some fiddling; Yes this works!!
 
So I'm under the impression that it's to do with Slang extension...?
 
I've searched the forum, but found nothing....
If I'm not mistaken the startup flash screen of eccoMagic doesn't say anything about this either?

run this (in your Vista setup)
 
and activate Ecco.
 
 
From within ecco try pressing  Ctrl+Shift+V
 
and see what that gives,
 
 
then try with Ctrl+Shft+Winkey+V
 
 
 
report back what you've got..
 
 
 
ps: double check you've got the latest eccoMagic version (www.eccomagic.com   or eccotools.com )
