[Bug 687749] Re: Paste clipboard contents into a file

 

I was about to create something similar: "Paste image from clipboard to
a new file". Creating from other sources might be a little more
difficult. For each mime/type should be some sort of default
assumptions. For example, if you copy an image to clipboard (let's say a
screenshot of a region) and then paste it, could do it with
timestamp_clipboard-image.jpg, and customizable from an XML/YAML.

Title:
  Paste clipboard contents into a file

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  Feature request:

  When there is data in the clipboard it would be amazing if one could
  paste that directly into a folder.

  Example 1: I select a part of a website, copy it, go to any folder and paste it there.
  The final result would be a html file with complete headers but where the body only contains the copied part.

  Example 2: I make a screenshot, I already have the folder open where i
  want it. I hit printscreen, choose "copy to clipboard". Back at the
  open folder I paste the image.
