Hi folks,
I often use Inkscape to generate pngs that I paste into other programs like Google Docs etc. The easiest way is to copy and paste the image as a bit map using Windows clipboard.
It would be great if there was a button to quickly copy the page contents as a png to the clipboard without having to save as an exported png.
It would be similar to the preview we already get in icon preview, but with the option of copying it directly.
This should be possible using inkscape's --export-filename and --export-type command line flags (see: https://inkscape.org/doc/inkscape-man.html ) using https://hluk.github.io/CopyQ/ or similar and some python / perl / autohotkey / etc. glue. Maybe there is already some existing code for that, but if not then a programmer (e.g: I, but naturally there are others 😉 ) can write it for you.
