copy & pasting text AND images to Windows clipboard

[Tony Walker]

Is there a way to store text alongside images such that when viewing the tiddler you can copy and paste both to the Windows clipboard in a single operation?  To add some context I've begun using Tiddlywiki to keep a searchable indexed repository of RFP/ITT responses.  Having located a suitable tiddler it would be useful to cut and paste text & images into Word, Excel etc.thanks

Hi Tony,

Any images you drag and drop onto TiddlyWiki are stored as base64 encoded and that is the problem.

• neither browsers support "copy as images" (to clipboard)
  
• nor Microsoft Office supports "paste as images" (from clipboard)
  

...whereby any base64 encoded datauri's would be automagically converted into their image representation.

So, the best chance you have is to not drag and drop images onto TiddlyWiki, but to store them into some img subfolder and then display them in TiddlyWiki, e.g. using something like ximg. Then you would have actual images that you can later copy & pasta as you're used to.

Best wishes,

Tobias.
