Feature request pasting images from the clipboard #71

Closed ChrisLinnNuvisan closed 2 weeks ago

ChrisLinnNuvisan commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I have a feature request. It would be nice to upload images which are in your clipboard. This is a feature request of actual users. For example they use the Windows snipping tool to grab a view with one or more structures from any application. Currently they need to save the snipped images to a file and upload it. The image is already in the clipboard when using the Snipping tool, therefore a simple paste on the page would avoid saving it to a file and uploading it.

Any Javascript experts around here to add this?

Best regards, Chris

Hi @ChrisLinnNuvisan ,

Kind regards, Kohulan

I have looked into an area for just dragging images from another website before. The main problem I ran into was that I did not manage to have the upload button have these two functionalities at the same time. On the other hand, I did not spent a huge amount of time on it when I did not find a solution immediately. I would highly appreciate every type of help here!
