Ctrl+V also pastes clipboard content (pictures) into files

Post by *matma267709 »

Hi,

I'd like to use Ctrl+V within TC to paste other contents than files, such as pictures.

Now, if the clipbaord contains a picture or something else than a file, TC just does nothing.

My suggestion: If TC checks the clipboard contents and finds a picture, it should save that in a file within the current directory. Picture file format (BMP,JPG,PNG,TIFF,...) and name can be selected/generated by default settings or asked each time.

I'm just sick of starting an application when I want to save a screenshot into a file. Most time effort is to select the designated directory (mostly the current directory in TC) in the "Save as" dialog box of the application, even if I use the clipboard to transfer the designated directory from TC to the application.

Does this suggestion seem usefull for you?

Thanks for your comments and replies.

Both are are small and portable and works immediate, so no need to bother (or wait for) Mr. Ghisler
