Paste Image Into New [EXT] File

[swan_x]

<Paste Image Into New [EXT] File: Creates a new image file filled with the image (if any) currently on the clipboard. The standard image format is PNG. But you can change this to JPG, GIF, BMP or TIF using a new INI Tweak:
[General]
ImageFromClipFormat=jpg
Allowed values are: png (default), jpg, gif, bmp, and tif. In the case of JPG you can control the quality by appending a number from 1 (worst) to 100 (best) inclusively, for example:
ImageFromClipFormat=jpg100>

i've modify my XYplorer.ini, in 'general' adding ImageFromClipFormat=jpg100....but not work!! why??

[swan_x]

i have open 'XYplorer.ini', adding 'ImageFromClipFormat=jpg' in 'General', save 'XYplorer.ini', close it.
open XY, and the command not work...ri-open my 'XYplorer.ini', and line 'ImageFromClipFormat=jpg' was deleted!!

Not sure what went wrong there, but I follow these instructions and they work:

Give them a go and let us know how it goes. Also, Don has recently reduced the number of GDI objects, so this may be a side effect.

Where did you see this? I don't see that anywhere in my INI and I'm on 8.50.04...also can't find that anywhere here in forum...Addendum/Update: Found it on wiki! So then where did jacky get this info from?

BTW, you say you are adding this...huh? ...The entry already existed in mine and I just modified it (as result of your post) from PNG to JPG and it worked just fine...Of course, I did an "restart w/o saving" to activate it.

I've got an answer to that too

Code: Select all

v6.80.0097 - 2008-03-04 09:39
  +++ Menu Edit | Paste Special: Added "Paste Image Into New [EXT] File" 
      [Ctrl+Shift+Alt+V]. Creates a new image file filled with the image (if 
      any) currently on the clipboard.
      Call it bloat, but me loves this feature and missed it ever since! 
      If you are a visual artist or web hunter it will save you hours of 
      tedious maneuvers.
      The standard image format is PNG. But you can change this to JPG, 
      GIF, BMP or TIF using a new INI Tweak:
        [General]
        ImageFromClipFormat=jpg
      Allowed values are: png (default), jpg, gif, bmp, and tif.
      In the case of JPG you can control the quality by appending a 
      number from 1 (worst) to 100 (best) inclusively, for example:
        ImageFromClipFormat=jpg100
      or:
        ImageFromClipFormat=jpg50
      The default value is 85.
      Note that the GIF quality is very bad (dithered) and practially 
      unusable. The other formats, however, are of high quality.
      This feature requires GDI+.

Ok...so how come when I try searching for that, all I find is this thread? I've tried a number of text combinations and no hits...

Update: Even looking for word "bloat" in beta forum didn't find it...looking for "all results'.

BTW, I just tried making mine "jpg95" and I do see a file size increase.

I'd hazard a guess this is because the code section of Beta forum is not searchable. Didn't you PM me about this a while ago?

So it works, then I think the issue due to incorrect editing of INI sequence.

The most important thing after editing ini file and saving it is to:
"Restart XY without saving" (menu "File | Restart without saving").

Ok...never looked in Help
Just did a forum search initially and no results, and found that zer0 is correct that it doesn't look in "Code" which I'd forgotten, and also seems that NavBar Search on Blogspot has issues as well so finding it on my blog disn't work as well...

However, I just set mine to jpg100, and it worked just fine...so must be something wrong in how you're applying the tweak or something peculiar to your system.

I just set mine to jpg100, and it worked just fine...

Just to remove as much confusion as possible, can you please try this script for your particular INI tweak

First, save your existing configuration (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-S or menu File->Settings->Save Configuration).
Second, click menu Tools->Open Configuration File
Third, find "ImageFromClipFormat" in the configuration file
Fourth, change the value to whatever you want i.e. "ImageFromClipFormat=jpg90" for a jpg with quality 90
Fifth, Save the configuration file in Notepad
Sixth, in XY, click File->Restart Without Saving

That should do the trick...

I hope this helps!
