First post. Great app!
THE TASK:
In various occasions, I have an image in my clipboard and I just want to save it to a file, in specific folder.
Here is what I currently have to do:
If there already is an image in the same folder (I'm lucky):
Or else, when I am not lucky, I have to:
Or another option is:
All the above are quite tedious, and/or require luck, and/or attention.
Here is what I would like to do instead:
Ideally, this option should only appear in the Shell Menu when I have an image sitting on the clipboard, to avoid unnecessarily cluttering it.
THE TASK:
In various occasions, I have an image in my clipboard and I just want to save it to a file, in specific folder.
Here is what I currently have to do:
If there already is an image in the same folder (I'm lucky):
- open it (IrfanView is the associated app)
- Ctrl+V to paste (substitutes image)
- "File"->"save as..."
(carefully! I don't want to just "save" and accidentally overwrite the old image)
(edit: tested: it would not. But, still.) - pick a name, a format etc.
Or else, when I am not lucky, I have to:
- Find an image somewhere else on the disk, possibly nearby by in the folder structure
- open it (easiest way to fire up IrfanView)
- Ctrl+V to paste
- "File"->"save as..." (again, with care)
- navigate back to the intended destination folder
- pick a name a format etc.
Or another option is:
- Fire up irfanView from Start Menu or whatever (unusual, long operation)
- Ctrl+V to paste
- Ctrl+S to save
- Go all the way to the intended folder, or cut and paste it as a string, etc. (tedious)
- pick a name a format etc.
All the above are quite tedious, and/or require luck, and/or attention.
Here is what I would like to do instead:
- From File Explorer, inside the targeted folder:
Right-click -> "Paste image" (new shell-integration feature!)
IrfanView appears, with the image from the clipboard, with a "new" status, and the folder as current folder, - Ctrl+S to save
- pick a name a format etc.
Ideally, this option should only appear in the Shell Menu when I have an image sitting on the clipboard, to avoid unnecessarily cluttering it.
