How many times have you been working on something and wanted to save your copied image, or your image selection just... _"somewhere"_?

And then, move that saved image from "somewhere" to your project's working directory...

Life is short! I don't want to waste it!

So I just patched the terminal :coding: to allow it to paste images on it 🤔, so it will save your images in your actual working directory :eyepopping:

Ok, better to show it and how handy it can be:

Yeah I really needed something like this, extremely handy to save "somewhere" your copy-pasted images, so I was trying to implement that, if you apug you can already use it 🙂
