How to copy image, get path back when pasting in file input?

Solution 1:

Okay guys, This is what I did.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;

namespace ClipSave
{
    class Program
    {
        [STAThread] public static void Main()
        {
            if (Clipboard.GetDataObject() != null)
            {
                IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject();

                if (data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap))
                {
                    Image image = (Image)data.GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap, true);
                    string file = System.Windows.Forms.Application.CommonAppDataPath + "\\ClipSaveImage.png";
                    image.Save(file, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
                    Clipboard.SetText(file);

                }
                else
                    MessageBox.Show("Copy valid image first");
            }
            else
                MessageBox.Show("Copy image first");
        }
    }
}

Compiled it to an EXE, added a start-up menu shortcut to it with a hotkey Ctrl+Shift+C. It then copies the current image in clipboard to a file and puts path to the file into the clipboard.

Solution 2:

This AutoHotKey thread has an AutoHotKey script for taking a screenshot. It includes the source for a trivial .Net 1.1 program to save the clipboard to a PNG. You would want it to have a few other modifications:

• Save the image to a different folder, with a name better than image.png
• Copy the path to the new image to your clipboard

The AutoHotKey Clipboard commands are another way to access that data, though a program to get its image data would be a bit more complicated.

Not sure if i answering your question. but you can try out clipman. it helps you to copy everything and keep it aside until you select it back one by one. Clipman,source CNET
