If I copy formatted text written in (for example) Wordpad (forecolor=red, font-style=bold etc) it is displayed as plain-text in 64bit version of ditto.
If I copy the same text in 32bit version it displayed using the same formatting as in Wordpad.
Is there a way how to make text formatted in 64bit version?
Thanks
Edit: Can anyone confirm this issue?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
still not working for me (win7 x64, ditto 03.20.54.00 x64, new installation (including .db and .setting files, portable enabled)
I noticed new issue: checkbox Options / Quick Paste / Draw RTF [..] remains unchecked (when reopen Options dialog) and setting 'DrawRTF' is not written to .setting file (this worked with 03.19.24). I had to add it manually (editing .setting file in notepad) but it seems it has no effect - formatting doesn't work.
I tested it on clean Win installation using vmware too - doesn't work.
Note: RTF formatting is not lost (when I copy from one instance of Wordpad and paste to second one then text formatting is ok). It is just Quick Paste dialog that paints the clip in plain-text.
Note2: (after some more digging) Clip is not painted in plain-text instead ituses font specified in Options / Quick Paste. When I specify 'bold italic' it is applied to the clip displayed in Quick Paste dialog. Deleting [Font] section in .Setting file doesn't help, as well as using default font (by clicking to 'Default Font' button)
Giving up...
Maybe next version or ... some hint from developer(s)..

hm... can anyone disconfirm this issue? i.e. is there someone using x64 version with working formatting?
Thanks
Formatting works for me using x64 on Windows 7, version 03.20.54.00.

I misread your report. The formatting isn't there in my Quick Paste window, either, although the formatting is preserved when pasting.
not fixed (yet?) in 3.20.74
Sorry but the method Ditto is using to draw the rtf does not work under 64bit builds.
Is this a Windows x64 limitation? a shortcoming of Ditto? A bug in Ditto? ii.e. will it ever be fixed or can it not be fixed?
not fixed (yet?) in 3.21.20
can't believe there is no way to fix/change/workaround/etc it. Or no pressure on 64bit version?
ok, should work now
Ditto beta, version 3.21.21.0
http://ditto-cp.sourceforge.net/beta/
you are right, works perfectly (3.21.26.0)
Great thanks
