Sorry, did not know where to ask for this. Use case (but i think there are more): inline images in an email, scanned article, not able to read text in scan, need/want to zoom. Would like to right-click-copy the image and paste it into an image viewer instead of having to first save it and than load it.
Yeah, macOS Preview has this and it's really nice IMO.
Another vote for this type of feature. irFanView on Windows allows this. Control-V to paste an image previously copied to the clipboard into an empty window and you're done. From there you can zoom the image, edit it, save it, etc.
Here from the future also hoping that it is added. Would work nicely w/ the typical workflow re: the occasional unsaved file that need editing first

(In reply to John Kizer from comment #4) > *** Bug 500183 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Thanks for merging: This would be super useful. Gwenview is already the central image viewer I use day to day, and I frequently copy an image file to the clipboard and want to give it a quick tweak before saving it or re-pasting it someplace else. There are certainly other ways to do this, but gwenview would be the simplest if it had that capability.
