Description
Many (if not most) modern image (ie Imgur) and cloud sites (ie DropBox) allow simply pasting an image on the clipboard to the page and it automatically uploads that image to the server.
This is extremely useful and handy for bloggers, web devs, content providers, etc. Otherwise we have to first manually save the image from clipboard to a file, then go through all the motions to select and upload that file to NC just to upload it.
Can we please "modernize" NC with this feature? i.e just navigate to a folder that we want the image to go to, then we can ctrl+v and it'll upload the image to that folder?
