OK, here is a simple demonstration of part of the feature I am interested
in.
When run with an image in the (global) clipboard, it saves this to a local
timestamped file (under ~/tmp), and indicates how a markdown reference to
that file could be inserted.
There's plenty more needed but this is the QClipboard part, I think.
import os
import time
def unique_png_fname():
""" return a unique (timestamped) filename to use
"""
FORMAT="%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S.png"
return time.strftime(FORMAT)
def link_string_md(fname):
""" get markdown format to insert a filename
"""
return "![[%s]]" % fname
def main():
# get clipboard contents - default mode is global clipboard
cb = g.app.gui.qtApp.clipboard()
# is it in image format?
img = cb.image()
if not img.isNull():
basefiledir = os.path.expanduser("~/tmp")
fqfilepath = os.path.join(basefiledir, unique_png_fname())
img.save(fqfilepath, "PNG")
g.es("wrote clipboard to:", fqfilepath)
g.es("could insert:", link_string_md(fqfilepath))
else:
g.es("clipboard not in image format")
main()
