Requested load/save data: urls

[voracity]

I'd find it quite useful if IrfanView supported data: urls. I'd imagine the implementation would be very simple (it's just a base64 encoding of the stream), but the interface may be a little trickier.

One way might be to 1) add 'Data: URL' to the File -> 'Open as' menu and 2) in the 'Save as...' dialog, put a checkbox saying 'Create data: URL'. Hitting save would then pop up a textbox containing the data: URL.

Any thoughts?

I was just about to suggest this, then I found this old thread.
The ability to convert images to base64 strings would indeed be a neat feature.
