Most Mozilla based browsers have two commands that pertain to images that Chimera lacks: - Copy Image - Copy Image Location
Copy Image Location works for me in 2002110704. I don't think Chimera really needs Copy Image when it already has Save Image.
My bad, I was looking for this with the 0.6 release (build 2002110704) and I didn't see it there. It looks like Copy Image is coming to the main Mozilla branch with 135300, perhaps it could be hooked up for Chimera as well if deemed relevant.
Indeed, since Copy Image Location does work, is this just a dup of bug 135300.

Summary: Image-related tasks missing from context menu → Add Copy Image (to Clipboard) to image contextual menu
Either that or it should be dependant on 135300.
WONTFIX this if Copy Image is considered a too advanced feature.

Depends on: 135300
Ever confirmed: true
I don't think it's advanced at all. For naive users, it's a perfectly natural thing to want to do.

I agree with comment #6; Copy Image Location is a _much_ more advanced command than Copy Image, so having the first and not the second makes no sense for Chimera. Also consider how awkward our current system is: if I want to copy an image and paste it into iChat, I have to save the file, open it in Preview, copy it, close it, throw it in the trash, empty the trash, then paste it in iChat (7 steps).

Steve: I liked your comment about Copy Image Location enough to file a bug to kill it. Bug 184028
Please keep/have both, to get the location you must open the source, etc.
Stephane, sorry, you are incorrect. To get the image location you can view the image, and the location will be in the location bar.
Simon, what do you mean "view the image?"
never mind. just realized it's a feature in the nightlies. i'm still running 0.6...
Attachment 110378 [details] [diff] in bug 135300 shows the backend work I did to hook this up. The frontend just calls nsIClipboardCommands::CopyImageContents.
Fixes checked in. This works now.

I wonder if there is a way that "Copy Image" could copy both the pixels of the image and the text of the location, so that the relevant format would be used when it came time to paste (perhaps the text would be a header or something, and would get pasted in lieu of the pixels in applications that could only paste text).
Marking verified in the 2002-12-31-04 NB. Succeusfully copied gif, jpg and png images from Chimera and pasted into Preview.app.
