 You'll find that Copy Image copies both the source URL and the image
 itself to the clipboard, except for Linux where this is currently
 broken. See Bug 469481. I tried to add Copy Image Location for all
 platforms there but it was not accepted. Once the Linux core issue is
 fixed the extra context menu item there will probably be removed again.



Cool, I didn't know that! Makes more sense actually..
Thanks for the tip.

 
Yes, it is cool.  I wonder which other email clients will do that.  I have
been using it for some time to transport images from web sites...

I discovered it by accident a coupla years ago...

Windows users should keep in mind that the 'printscreen' key sends a copy
of your entire current desktop to the clipboard and alt-printscreen sends
the current active window (such as a dialogue box) to clipboard from where
it can be pasted directly into an email or other application.  

I usually use ctrl-v to paste.

Wanted: 'Copy image location' on image context menu

2009-11-28 Thread Rex
If I want to copy the link of an image in SM2, it's a rather tedious 
process- rightclick-properties, then drag to select n copy the link 
from the dialog that pops up.

Is there a way to add a 'copy image location' item in the context menu?

Only through modifying the necessary files, either locally (which you 
then need to do on every update) or through an extension. The latter 
would be quite easy for an extension author.
