[Feature Request] Add Save to Clipboard about screentogif HOT 14 CLOSED

I understand, that's why this ticket is still open. I'm planning to add an option that will encode to a file stored inside the temp folder and automatically copy that file to the clipboard as image or file.

To clarify:
Copy: Copies the file to the clipboard, so you can paste in other folder.
Copy as image: Loads the gif into the clipboard, allowing you to paste on Paint for example.
Copy filename: Copies the entire path, with the filename and the extension.
Copy folder path: Copies only the folder path where the file is located.

The encoder now has a "Copy" context menu.

Where is this context-menu to be found?

I'm sorry, I forgot to write that it's available for version 2.4 (still not released).

I see... do you have an idea about how soon you want to release that 2.4?

This weekend, if nothing bad happens.

I see now, there's only a copy to clipboard context-menu on the saved files in the Encoder window.
Well, that's a helpful feature in some situations too, i think.
But this only works AFTER SAVING.
I was hoping for a button "Render to clipboard".
This would be nice if i only paste the gif to a forum, no need for a saved version.
I do that with screenshots all the time.

PS:
The context menu options do not all work, and paths are inconsistent:
COPY
[nothing happens]
Should this remember the last copy-action? Or what is it?
COPY NAME
C:/Users/toro/Desktop\test.gif
COPY PATH
C:\Users\toro\Desktop

from screentogif.

I see... maybe also call it Copy AS FILE

PS:
Note the different slashes:
COPY NAME
C:/Users/toro/Desktop\test.gif
COPY PATH
C:\Users\toro\Desktop

from screentogif.

Yes.

That's strange, maybe it's some sort of language or system configuration. Mine returns:

C:\Users\Nicke\Desktop\a.gif
C:\Users\Nicke\Desktop

This request seems really popular but also perhaps severe burden to RAM.

Burden to RAM? Why would it?
Unless there is a constant copying happening in Background, it would not produce any more load on anything.

from screentogif.

Done. (Ready for release 2.5)

There's a check box in the Save As panel, when enabled, the file will be saved inside the temp folder (You can change that folder on the Options window) and after the encoding completes, will be copied into the clipboard.

It seems to be copied as a file, rather then just the contents itself, which makes it impossible to paste it into applications like Slack.

Yes, this is a limitation of Windows. It's not possible to copy a gif file without losing data. So now, it only allows to copy as file instead of as image.
