Getting "Paste As" to work

Help & Support
1

Anyone got this new feature to work?

function = Clipboard as USESEL paste

never prompts me for a name for my image or text file.

The AS argument takes a string to specify the new name - it doesn't cause you to be prompted. If you want to be prompted, use {dlgstring}, eg:

Clipboard PASTE AS {dlgstring}

Clipboard Paste UseSel As {Rs|Name The File}

It works but it promts me EVERY time I paste instead of just when I'm pasting raw image or text data.

Turns out the command just changes the default "clipboard" naming scheme into what you specify.: Clipboard Paste UseSel As "CLip"

It would be cool if the command only initiated the prompt when it detects raw image or text data so I could Name the pasted file as something definitive on the fly instead of renaming after th fact.

Sounds like you're talking about writing and using a script instead of using normal GUI commands. To keep things simpler (unless I really, really wanted this) I'd create a 3 button button where a left click pastes with a new name prompt while a right click just pastes. Of course it would be up to you to know what you have copied to the clipboard.

We will add this ability in the next version.
