[Feature request] Add picture via clipboard & drag-and-drop #5

Description

Currently, inserting a picture requires to browse in your PC folders and select the file. This is OK, but it would be nice to have two additional modes to add a picture:

drag-and-drop from another window

(for example from the file explorer). Useful in case you have the folder already open: it spares the need to browse back to it from the file system root.

paste from the clipboard

This comes handy especially when the picture is not a file, for example:

  • printing a picture found in the web (right click -> copy without saving it as a file)
  • printing the selected area from an image you are editing (e.g. in Paint)
  • a screen shot from the Windows' Snipping Tool
  • etc.

At the moment you need to paste the image into an editor, save it as a file, and then select the file; these features would spare this burden. An example of how could be implemented is Google image Translate: https://translate.google.com/?op=images . Note that the whole page reacts to mouse drag-and-drop, reacts to CTRL + V hotkey, and there's a "paste from clipboard" button.
