Text based copy buffer

From DISE KnowledgeBase

Jump to: navigation, search

In DISE, most cut, copy and paste operations are text-based. This means that the copied object is placed in the system's copy buffer as editable text. The technique is as follows:

  1. Copy any object, schedule, destination, etc. in DISE Composer / DISE Bridge.
  2. Open notepad (or some other text-based editor) or maybe a new e-mail.
  3. Paste the object as text.
  4. Perform your changes.
  5. Select all text.
  6. Cut or copy the text.
  7. Paste the object back in DISE Composer / DISE Bridge.

This can very be useful as you can use the editors search-and-replace functions or spelling tools on your objects, destinations, without having to manually edit all items.
