New Item from Clipboard / better Drag and Drop

Feature request
1

Thank you all for your hard work on this project.
I would love to see the ability to create a new item from what’s on the clipboard, as in Preview. This would be tremendously helpful for web-based research (I’m a historian of contemporary science).

Also very useful would be the ability to drag-and-drop an image in Tropy onto other apps. E.g., if I want to include an archival photo in a research talk, I’d love to be able to just pull up the image in Tropy and drop it onto a Keynote or PPT slide.

Thanks for considering!

We’re likely going to add import from clipboard for standard projects soon.

Improving the drag and drop outside of the app is also a good idea, thank you! We’ll take that into consideration (it’s more complicated because of differences between the platforms).
