Comment (by pulkomandy):
ShowImage is not reachable as an application from the Deskbar menu. Think
about the workflow: open another image, use "new from clipbard", save.
This makes little sense. This is how one would do it inWindows using
paint, but it is not agood and natural workflow.
I would keep it simple. Use the existing paste menu or shortcut and it
should create a "Bitmap clip" file, just as drag and drop from a ShowImage
selection to Tracker already does. It should use the format of what's in
the clipboard, and dump that into a file. I think the drag and drop code
should be largely reusable,
Making the file show in Tracker but not be saved to disk until you enter a
name is going to add confusion. Preselecting the name may be nice, but not
mandatory. Let's keep it simple.
