DONE: Paste a screenshot in windows explorer

patku, I can write you a small script that should work for you.  However, you would need to have a certain option turned on in your Windows Explorer options...

Do we actually need a script to do that?
I would like to understand how come @mouser can paste an image from Clipboard into a .bmp file (by default) in Windows explorer, and yet we cannot.
[...Having said that, I see an unpleasant aspect -- when you hit Ctrl+V it will create a new image file, but the image file will be called "Clipboard Image.bmp" and be in bmp format.

If we knew what configuration in Windows was required to enable this default, then we wouldn't need a workaround script - would we?

Well, my script offers additional functionality; you can specfiy a name and it also supports pasting as JPG, PNG, GIF, or BMP.

I thought this was a good idea, so I decided to make a quick app called Paste As File. Right click on the desktop or on the background of a Windows explorer window and select Past As File. You can then save the clipboard to a file based on the contents. Either a text file or an image in PNG or JPG format. You can download it from my website if you are interested. It's free.

patku:
@skwire Thanks for your willingness to create such a script. Maybe it would be better, though, if the functionality were added to (or fixed in?) Screenshot Captor (if I'm not the only one interested in such a feature). And I'm happy with the PasteAsFile solution, so no pressure from me anymore :-)

@c.gingerich I can't believe I never thought of generalizing the idea to pasting anything in the clipboard into a file - genius! And I tried it out on my Win7 32-bit machine - works like a charm. Thanks!

c.gingerich:
Great, glad you like it. I am going to make some tweaks to it and I'll post an update. I'll put it in the Announce Your Software topic for everyone to see.
