Should it be possible to develop a paste from clipboard function (with the right click menu) in order to create automatically a new file based on the clipboard content ?
If the clipboard contains text => makes a .TXT file, if it's a picture (i.e. a printscreen) => makes a .PNG file (or other file type to be defined in the settings),...
It could improve some repetitive process without needing to use another soft to save the clipboard content. I do a lot of printscreens which must be saved locally in different directories and it would help me. I know that some tools can do that but it's mainly for a printscreen and the pictures are always saved in the same directory.

There is a file-system plug-in which offers the content of the clipboard as files (which you can then copy to whatever drive/location you want). Unfortunately, no x64 version available (as far as i can tell)

One solution i'm using regular for this task is: nircmd.exe clipboard saveimage.

e.g. as Totalcommander Button:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\SYS\NirLauncher\NirSoft\nircmd.exe clipboard saveimage
~$currdate.yyyy-MM-dd$-~$currtime.HH_mm_ss$.png
WCMICONS.DLL,26
nircmd clipboard saveimage current date

0
-1

Not automatic depending on clipboard content but a second button to save text can be created using the same tools.

i dont manage to understand how to add that to the button bar

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\SYS\NirLauncher\NirSoft\nircmd.exe clipboard saveimage
~$currdate.yyyy-MM-dd$-~$currtime.HH_mm_ss$.png
WCMICONS.DLL,26
nircmd clipboard saveimage current date

2azertt,
just copy the whole content of the code block (including the last line with the "-1") into the clipboard. Then right-click on the button bar in TC and select "Paste" from the context menu, and the button will appear...
