It allows pasting image content from the clipboad. (I.e. from a photo application running on the PC or from another web page into the browser window.)
It doesn't allow copy-pasting files directly directly from the file system .The browsers have this limitation for security reasons.
My use case: I scan documents with my scanner application. I save the documents to disk and then I import them in the photo editor by browsing. With my change now I can just copy/paste the contents from one place to another without additional steps.
The second use case: I want to import an image from Facebook or from Whatsapp. I have to first save it to disk and then browse it from the photo editor. With my change now I just right-click on the image, issue "copy image", click on the photo editor and hit CTRL-V.
