Comment (by leavengood):
I like the Tracker idea. I can give that a try since I still own this
ticket after 8 years.
What did you envision the behavior being pulkomandy?
What about this:
You paste from the menu or Alt-V in Tracker, an untyped image file appears
with the name <Pasted Image>, which is selected, and then you type a name
and file type. If you don't put a file type it defaults to PNG or
something. If you hit escape while in that mode it stops and doesn't paste
the image. The file isn't actually written until you hit enter on the file
name.
As you say, this would also be awesome for text, so maybe it could be done
more generically.
The main complaint I could think of for this for UX is it may have low
discoverability compared to an obvious "New from clipboard" menu in
ShowImage.
