Re: [Gimp-user] Create image from clipboard via command line

[Piotr Rybałtowski <prybaltowski gmail com>]

Hi,

Mikel, there are more apps taking screenshots to a clipboard than opening them in GIMP so it'd be useful :). I use ScreenCloud.

Kevin, I know about pasting when I have it opened. After taking a screenshot I'm running GIMP and pressing ctrl+shift+v. I'd be much better though if I could be able to run it as a single command so I could make even better shortcut.

Saving clipboard to a file is not for me. I want to have it opened as new image.

For now I'll just stick with Open GIMP > Ctrl+Shift+V.

Thanks,
Piotrek

If you've got GIMP running, just press Ctrl+Shift+V (or Edit→Paste from
clipboard) and it'll create a new image from the current clipboard. You
can probably whip up some script-fu to call that from the command-line
if you prefer.

(Or you can try this python2-script
http://stackoverflow.com/a/12122028/69663 which takes any image in your
clipboard, run it with the "-o" option to open the file straight away.)
