Description

  1. Open a screenshot tool
  2. Make a screenshot
  3. Have the screenshot in the clipboard
  4. Switch to JabMap
  5. Press Ctrl+V
  6. The image should appear as child node

Acutal behavior: Nothing happens

Internally, JabMap stores the file alongside the map

Resource path: `@Path("map/images/{imageid}")

image ids can be random numbers maybe?

Single images without text around are enough.

Research direction

Start by tracing the clipboard paste handling in JabMap and the image resource path map/images/{imageid}. Verify how child nodes are created and how stored images are loaded; the work is done when a clipboard screenshot appears as an image child node without surrounding text.
