Copy RENDER OUTPUT (image result) to Windows clipboard? How possible would it be to include a function in the Compositor, UV Editor and Image Editor that can &quot;COPY TO CLIPBOARD&quot; whatever image they have active?
The image editor &quot;Copy to Clipboard&quot; function is the one I'm most interested in, since I composite and do animated storyboards all the time.
It's too long of a hustle to do:
F12, Image&gt;save as&gt;target directory&gt;type the name of the file&gt; Switch application &gt;file&gt;open&gt;target directory&gt;image&gt;ctrl+a&gt; ctrl+c, switch application document tab, and finally ctrl+V just to layer the concept I am working in.
Image&gt;copy Render Output to clipboard, switch application, CTRL+V seems speedier.
The &quot;Edit externally&quot; command already has this in mind, but the general idea with this new command is to assign a shortcut, use it in blender, switch applications, CTRL+V (even email windows would work best in this approach).
Please help me develop this as a simple addon for the Image Editor first. Thanks!
This is what I found in doing the system clipboard with python: https://pypi.org/project/pyperclip/
As for pasting images, I think the clipboard actually stores them as a URL like image://C:/Users/Jaywright/AppData/Local/.temp/save_here.png so you might try that in just the regular python IDE to start with.
