Re: [Inkscape-user] Copying objects

Caveat: Should be two windows of the same instance of inkscape; it may not work between instances. Open both files from within inkscape (i.e File>Open) will ensure both windows are from the same instance.

Exactly. It does not work between instances yet. Only text can be copied/pasted between instances or from Inkscape to/from other apps, but all other objects cannot. Within one instance, everything works.
