Copying multiple images at once

[Eran Guendelman]

Hi, so I've seen how to copy an image to the clipboard using

copyq copy image/png - < foo.png

And this is useful because I can then Ctrl-V in a gmail window to paste the image into an email.

But is it possible to copy multiple images to the clipboard (as one multi-part item) so that I can then Ctrl-V them into the email all in one go?

(Kind of like the drag and drop support in gmail where I can drag a few files from the explorer into the gmail window...  which I assume uses some different javascript magic independent of the clipboard)

Thanks

Just tested this and it looks like it's only possible to drag'n'drop multiple image files (specifically "text/uri-list" data type) to Gmail.

I'm not aware of other way to do this.

I see...

So how about this, can I define some shortcut to paste AND pop the last item from the clipboard.  So if I copy N images to clipboard using copyq, I can then press this shortcut N times in a row to paste the images (I guess in reverse order) into the gmail window?  Does copyq have a command to remove the last item from the clipboard?

Thanks

Similar thing was requested before. If you go to [1] and copy the command to CopyQ you would be able to put all images to "Stack" tab and paste them with a custom shortcut.

There is also predefined command "Paste and copy next" in Command dialog (F6 shortcut) -- just click on Add button there and add the command.
