pasted image's filename

[leviwheatcroft]

Is there any way to get the pasted image's filename ?

Seems like there must be some way to do this, as I've seen apps like slack show an image's filename when pasted.

I thought it might be in the image's exif data, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I thought, this is a paste of pictures from the clipboard, which is only a temporary file flow. Do not have a file name in this form?

I understand what you're saying, but how do other js apps get filenames from pasted images ?

you can get file name like this but copied images from browser and so doesn't have a name

            $('textarea').one('pasteImage', function (ev, data) {
                var fileName = data.name;
            }).on('pasteImageError', function (ev, data) {
                throw "error on pasting image";
            })

I eventually realised that the "other js apps" I was thinking of (like slack.com) don't get a filename when, as others have said, there is no "file" to have a name. Instead, they just make up a name like "Image.jpg"
