Allow drag and drop

[koppor]

I'd like to drop the screenshot as filesomewhere and that snipaste deletes the file after closing. This is a functionality of grab'n'drop (see http://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/a/25130/18184), but Snipaste is more powerful in other regards.

Here the screenshot how Grab'n'Drop does it:

The main window lets you specify a filename. If that window looses the focus, a small window appears. This window shows a minified version of the screenshot. One can drag'n'drop from here and it always pastes a file.

This is similar to #282 (comment) (#78), but I still miss the drag'n'drop feature.

I really like the automatic file deletion at this feature of Grab'n'Drop: When closing the application, the file is deleted. The reason is that I use screenshots for posting into Skype, Emails, posting into GitHub and Slack.

Currently, I can do a similar functionality using the Clipboard feature. However, the filename is always grafik.png.

Furthermore, I cannot paste into the file explorer. So, for each target application, I have to think, whether I should use clipboard or file export. If I want to determine the filename for an uploaded file, I have to save it somewhere, rename it and attach it again.

With the grab'n'drop functionality, I can work much faster.

In Summary:

• specify filename for file (in the clipboard)
• allow pasting into file explorer
• small window allowing drag and drop
• drag area (with filename field) in the main window

Thanks for your detailed desciption. And also thank you for recommending Snipaste on StackExchange. ❤️

I would like to try GrabNDrop so I downloaded it from here and here (the official site seems broken). But when I pressed Enter after screenshot, I got this:

I tried two computers (both Win10 x64) with the same result. Could you send me a copy that works?

My main use case for that is sending a screenshot via Email in Outlook with plain-text emails.

A pasting from the clipboard to plain-text-emails leads to the error "pictures will get lost".

I am really a fan of this feature. Would a donation help to get this feature implemented?

Since Ctrl+V works, I don't need this feature any more.
