PasteOptions plugin not functioning in version 12.0.1.1814

Has anyone been able to get the PasteOptions plugin to do anything in v12? It shows in the list of plugins and is checked, but I cannot find the menu items anywhere.
 
I'm currently working on release candidate 12.0.0.1811
Here you can find configuration window via Configure ribbon tab and Plug-Ins. This opens "Plug-In Manager" looks like in v11.

But a click on "configure"-icon results in a access violation box. If I get out there by clicking -Button, I can't do anything more with this Plug-In.
 
The PasteOptions Plug-In adds an "ExcelPaste" and a "MultiPaste" item to the Plug-In ribbon. The name of the ribbon tab group is "ExcelPaste".
 
Not in mine. I see it enabled in the list of plug-ins, I have 4 or 5 additional configured in the .ini file and nothing shows up in the plug-ins ribbon.
 
I have created a SpecialPaste plugin to bring the functionality of this plugin to the 64bit version of PL/SQL Developer. I have not created a 32bit version of this one, but if you guys want me to, I can have a look. (I didn't want to just copy someone elses functionality)
 
I have created a x86 version of the plugin. You can download it from my site (SpecialPaste). Please note, this was done rather quickly, expect quircks etc. I have included an ini file with the two demo scripts in there. If the interface is too quirky, you can probably convert your current PasteOptions.ini to this one. If you need help and can wait a little while, send me the files and I'll see what I can do.
 
It failed to install in V12, using Setup.exe, but after manually installing, I get a ReadIniFile error. Setup.exe successfully completed on the V11, but I get the same ReadIniFile error.
 
I updated the 32bit and the 64bit versions on my website. Should work better now. Please remove the specialpaste.ini file before you install the new one.
 
The ini file seems to be better, but I still get the ReadIniFile error and where I can find where to configure the formats, I cannot see where to actually use them. I see nothing in the plugins pull down nor the edit menu.

Try to change permissions on the specialpaste.ini - allow USERS to Modify the file.

That stops the errors, but the formatting doesn't seem to work appropriately.

I take a list:

5
9
8
7
8
9

copy it, then select the ExcelPaste, and I get:
(' 5
9
8
7
8
9')

the pasteoptions version puts:

(5, 9, 8, 7, 8, 9)

I've tried putting additional values in, but I never seem to get the commas after each value and then are all on separate lines

 
I noticed another difference between pasteoptions and specialpaste:
The command "END" now seems to insert extra CRLF before.

Hello Patrick

Do you have any feedback on this? I also cannot seem to find a way to replace CR/LF with a ,

Thanks a lot!

Patrick,
Thanks for the quick answer. This does not work in 32-bit version. In 64-bit version however, it works fine!
