I need help

MrPhil:
I don't know in what form the PC clipboard will carry the image. My Windows clipboard seems to hold just the URL when picked from a Web page (Copy Image or Copy Image Location). I haven't been able to pick up anything from a local PC display (pixels). From a Web page, if you have just the URL in the clipboard, just paste it in between the image BBCode tags, or into the WYSIWYG image dialog. If somehow you figure out how to pick up image pixels in the clipboard, it would be a tremendous amount of work for SMF. It would have to accept the pixels without corrupting them, and build a .png or .jpg image file around them. It would then have to name this file and store it on your server. Finally, it would have to insert the BBCode image tags with the URL. SMF does not paste pixels into the display. All it does is supply a URL for an <img> tag to use. Your browser requests the image file from wherever it's stored and renders it onto your screen. There is no way for SMF to reasonably handle a clipboard full of pixels. It does not store pixels in the database; it stores file URLs. It does not paint the pixels on to the screen; it tells the browser where to find a standard image format file.
