Share Clipboard stopped working

[Jonas Skužinskas]

I hadn't used Input Director in a few weeks, but when i tried to use it the share clipboard feature stopped working. I've found a few threads on here about that, but they had problems with file copying where for me it's not working completely, not even text, on both systems, both ways. I tested my laptop (third system) and it's working on that just fine, both files and text.

The Host system is win 10, and both clients are win 11, but one of them isn't working.

I've tried resetting options to defaults and updated to v2.2, but that didn't help. On one of the client systems it just says Clipboard Paste Failed, sometimes even when i'm not trying to paste anything.

I've also just tried reinstalling Input Director on the affected system. Didn't fix the issue.

I can vouch that something is different with how InputDirector works with the clipboard in v2.2.

I actually don't use the clipboard utility of ID and have it turned off. After installing ID v2.2, DITTO (my clipboard manager) has stopped working properly. It is like ID prevents DITTO from sending clips across the network. So I went back to ID v2.1.4 and DITTO functionality has been restored.

Plus, my configuration suffered from disappear mice more often with ID v2.2 than with the previous version.

Just to update I think it was my VPN with split tunnelling causing the issue. I added my slave system's ip address to the tunnel filter and the issue went away. Weird though, because it wasn't an issue before.
