--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Not clear there is any use case for doing this from a context menu. Where would
one be copying the bitmap image to? The other LO modules pick up an image from
system clipboard using LO paste special.

But if intent is to copy within Calc, placing a bitmap into a cell--and which
can be done now with the export of selection to JPEG or PNG to an external
file, and then inserting the image into a cell. Doing that more efficiently
might be helpful.

But why a new context menu entry with a lot of new development? Currently a
copy with selection action--using LO menu or defined
accelerator/shortcut--places selection onto the system Clipboard and includes a
PNG bitmap rendering (among numerous other formats of interest in an ODF
context).

So rather than a context menu entry (still of questionable utility) it would
make more sense to simply add an implicit bitmap selection to the Paste Special
for Calc to access the bitmap from clipboard--as done now for the other LO
modules. It would not include a JPEG rendering--but is that even needed, PNG is
the preferred rendering.

Changing the summary to "Add a bitmap option to Calc Paste Special" would be
the more useful enhancement.
