Hello,
I’m using the Chat Inspector, but I noticed that the copy function isn’t working properly. When I click the copy button above, it doesn’t return the correct source code.
The first table is the original export, while the second one is what I got after copying and pasting it into a Markdown file.
Development would have to assess this but if you use the Save button, saving as Markdown, the table is preserved.
The button copies all kinds of formats to the clipboard, in the Markdown editor just use Cmd-Shift-V (Edit > Paste and Match Style).
I tried it, but it still doesn’t work. The result from copying is completely different from the result of exporting.
According to the help documentation, the copy button in Chat Inspector is supposed to “copy the entire chat to the clipboard as tab-delimited text”. However, in practice, this feature frequently fails — oftentimes, clicking the button results in nothing being copied to the clipboard. I’ve found that I need to manually select some text before using the copy button
Use the copy button then press Command-N in the item list. What do you get?
According to the help documentation, the copy button in Chat Inspector is supposed to “copy the entire chat to the clipboard as tab-delimited text”.
As @cgrunenberg noted: It is a multi-format copy, including tab-delimited text.
The chat was copied once, then pasted into a rich text document, formatted note, paste & match style in a Markdown document, and Command-N to create the sheet. The chat was never copied a second time but pasted into multiple formats as noted.
I will correct the documentation for the next release.

And you’re determining this how?
I get a sheet. And it seems work well.
After copying, I tried both “Paste” and “Paste and Match Style,” but nothing was pasted.
I’ve noticed that after waking my Mac from sleep and reopening the previous Chat Inspector, the copy function always doesn’t work.
Can you purposely sleep the Mac and consistently reproduce the issue?
The issue can be reproduced as follows:

Thanks for the step-by-step.
We’ll see if we can reproduce it here.
So far I couldn’t reproduce this. Was anything select in the chat?
I didn’t select any text. Normally, when no text is selected, it should be possible to copy all content.
P.S. If some text is selected and then the copy button is clicked, only the selected text can be copied, and the result is the same as using Command+C — it’s not formatted text.
