Problem

It would be great to have drag & drop support for images to pull them into websites or other apps for example.

It's not currently possible to implement it due to the limitations of NSMenu. I'll keep that in mind whenever I start working on re-writing Maccy from NSMenu.

@p0deje is this something that would be more doable in the 2.0 version? Not sure whether that still uses NSMenu.

[p0deje]

@gibfahn Yes, it would be possible in 2.0 since it doesn't use NSMenu.

It doesn't seem to work on 2.0 (at least on my end). Can anyone confirm that it is working on? If so, I will look into my installation.

[p0deje]

It's not implemented yet.

May or may not be useful for anyone else, but my workaround for this is this zsh function:

# Save the current clipboard to a png file, copy the path to the clipboard, and show the file
# in Finder. This allows you to easily drag the file, or paste it with a ⇧⌘g in a file
# picker window.
clipboard_image_save() {
  local screenshot_path
  screenshot_path=$HOME/tmp/screen_shot_recording/screenshot_$(date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S").png
  osascript -e "set png_data to the clipboard as «class PNGf»
	set the_file to open for access POSIX path of (POSIX file \"$screenshot_path\") with write permission
	write png_data to the_file
	close access the_file"

  echo "Created $screenshot_path"
  pbcopy <<<$screenshot_path
  # Reveal in Finder.
  open -R $screenshot_path
}
