Some applications or websites don’t have the method of pasting an image from your clipboard, and only have the file picker dialogue. So to fill this gap it would be nice to be able to paste images that are in your clipboard into the file upload dialogue, as I’m sometimes wanting to upload an image that I copied without needing to download the file
Pasting image textures from the clipboard does work in regular folders since version 44 (implemented by @coreyberla as part of this ticket. I tested now and, while that part works, I can confirm that it doesn’t work in FileChooser portal mode. I wonder if that’s on purpose or just a bug that ought to be filed, referencing that ticket. The closest I found is that ticket by @two, but I think that one is about pasting real files rather than pasting image textures.
It’s kind of like the fact that drag-and-drop to the file chooser is hard to discover at the moment, or the fact that you can’t create bookmarks while in filechooser mode…
this makes sense but i dont understand how would it be implemented techinally, since the API returns paths …
would it paste it into a tmeporary folder ? then when sould it be deleted
