    v4.56: What does changing the "paste counter" do?

    Sorry if I am missing the obvious, but in the v4.56 changelog:

    New paste option: Change paste counter (Edit->Paste special)
    I couldn't figure out what this new menu item did after a few simple tests with the other menu options (left/right/top/bottom). Thanks.

    Enter number, ctrl-v, look at window title.

      Ah, "Clipboard01", "Clipboard02", "Clipboard03", etc. The default filename for saving. Thanks.

      I guess it only increments when you replace the entire current image with the clipboard. So the workflow would be: Copy image (from somewhere) > Paste into irfanview as new image > Save image > Repeat.

      I guess it's convenient for capturing, being able to resume the numbering where you left off, according to this thread: https://irfanview-forum.de/showthread.php?t=9988

      But it seems misplaced to be in the menu "Edit->Paste Special (add on side)" since none of the other options in that menu (to Right, to Left, to Bottom, to Top) affect the paste counter. Maybe the (English) menu should be renamed to remove the "(add on side)" part. Just my 2c.
