But do we not already have that feature?? In Gnome when I open File Browser and R-click an image and select copy I get the file name (without file://) and that can be pasted (R-click or Ctrl-V) into the file name field on the Get Image dialogue and it works. Granted if it comes with file:/// at the start it breaks! But you only need to delete file:// manually... Perhaps this only works in Gnome?
