request to add support for appending image locations #5

I would like to use this, but it would be far more useful if it worked more like Chrome's rather similar Clipbuffer extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clipbuffer/kaljanbaemmkahepmddieipmafapobdb

It also supports appending image locations to the clipboard, in addition to text and links. (Though it lacks a clipboard-clearing menu item, which is a nice addition to this extension.)

So with Clipbuffer, if I right-click an (unlinked) image, I am presented with the context menu item "Add image URL to clipboard." If the image is actually linked to another URL, then the context menu has a submenu "Clipbuffer" which includes the previous item as well as the item "Add link to clipboard."

But with append-to-clipboard, right-clicking an unlinked image only gives me the "Clear Clipboard" item (if enabled) and linked images give me the submenu "append-to-clipboard" items "Append to Clipboard (whichever-options-are-enabled)" and "Clear Clipboard."

It would be nice if this extension could also include the option to append such image locations to the clipboard, in addition to the option to append the image links.

I did a search and this was the only extension I found that would even append anything to the clipboard, so it would be nice for recommendation purposes if I could refer others to "use Clipbuffer if you use Chrome, or append-to-clipboard for Firefox." (Personally, I use both browsers, so it would be nice to have the same functionality in both of them.)

Thanks for taking the time to make this request... If I get around to exploring this, I will try to accommodate your suggestions, but I have other priorities these days... But will keep the issue open, in case I may revisit...
