Save or copy images from KNIME nodes into the clipboard

KNIME Analytics Platform

Dear KNIME team and users,

it would be very comfortable if graphics created e.g. inside KNIME by JfreeChart, R View  or other nodes could be copied or saved directly to the clipboard. I understand that this is currently not possible in KNIME. Saving as png or svg file from the graph window into a temporary file is also not an option since it is not possible to open the file until you close KNIME. I tried to save the image to clipboard within an R-node but this is not possible inside KNIME. Is there an easy way to write an image to the clipboard?

My workaround at present is to save the image to a temporary file or to an excel file (that opens automatically). But I would find it more comfortable to save/write it to the clipboard directly so that I can paste it into any other application (I am copying graphs from KNIME very often).

Kind regards

Stefan

I don't have the solution but a work around (if you are on windows) would be to use the snipping tools which copies the selected part of your screen to an image in your clipboard.
