Feature Request "File-clipboard"

2019-01-11 Thread Patrick H.
Hi!

I've got the following idea:
Often we want to send a scanned document or something like that to somebody. We then have to save the document and open it then in the mail-client or Telegram or Signal or something else.

It would be nice to have a "Save to file-clipboard"-button in the Save-window and a "Open from file-clipboard"-button in the open-window. So the file doesn't have to be saved really (and deleted after sending).


Thank you!

Greetings,
Patrick

You may have missed the "recent files" workflow. After you scan your
document, when you save it, it's added to the recent files list. When
you then want to add it as an attachment inside your mail, your email
client opens the file chooser[1]. On the left panel, select "Recent",
and the last document you saved should appear on top of the list in
the right panel.

Hope this helps.
