Create image from clipboard via command line
Hi,
I'm thinking about some new feature which I'd love to see in GIMP but can't add it myself. Maybe there's a way to achieve it. And if it's wrong place to post such suggestions let me know, this is my first mail here.
To the point. I'd love to be able to create new image from clipboard from a command line. There is such function so I guess it wouldn't be a problem to add it. Having this one could make a shortcut (e.g. in Unity's launcher RMB menu). It's useful when some app (e.g. screenshot taking) puts image in clipboard and you want to quickly edit it.
What do you think?
Thanks, Piotrek

If you've got GIMP running, just press Ctrl+Shift+V (or Edit→Paste from clipboard) and it'll create a new image from the current clipboard. You can probably whip up some script-fu to call that from the command-line if you prefer.
(Or you can try this python2-script http://stackoverflow.com/a/12122028/69663 which takes any image in your clipboard, run it with the "-o" option to open the file straight away.)

Create image from clipboard via command line
Hi,
Mikel, there are more apps taking screenshots to a clipboard than opening them in GIMP so it'd be useful :). I use ScreenCloud.
Kevin, I know about pasting when I have it opened. After taking a screenshot I'm running GIMP and pressing ctrl+shift+v. I'd be much better though if I could be able to run it as a single command so I could make even better shortcut.
Saving clipboard to a file is not for me. I want to have it opened as new image.
For now I'll just stick with Open GIMP > Ctrl+Shift+V.
Thanks, Piotrek

Well, if you don't mind the file ending up in your /tmp, you could save the python script as e.g. "save-clipboard-image.py" and make another script "save-clipboard-image-tmp.sh" that does
#!/bin/sh
cd /tmp
/path/to/save-clipboard-image.py -o
You might want to change "xdg-open" to "gimp" in the script in case it opens in the wrong program.
Then just make a shortcut to "save-clipboard-image-tmp.sh" from wherever (remember to chmod +x them).

I will try with shell/python scripts as well as script-fu.
Thanks.
