How can I insert image to clipboard from command line in KDE? I know that X11 likes only string in both clipboards but in KDE if I use ksnapshot i can press "copy" and then just prest ctrl+v in ex. gimp to paste image into.
I tried:

Code: Select all

xsel --clipboard < /tmp/image.jpg
xsel --clipboard --keep <  /tmp/image.jpg
cat  /tmp/image.jpg | xsel -i
cat  /tmp/image.jpg | xclip -selection c
echo  /tmp/image.jpg | xclip -selection c


None of above works for me.

OS: Fedora 16/17 x86_64
KDE: 4.8.4

Yes, it does work in Gnome3 but doesn't work in KDE4. They even said that "Note: this is for gnome desktop (hence gtk). I bet there's something similar for kde".

Oh. Note that script should still work under KDE - although you will need PyGtk installed.
As for a KDE/Qt alternative, it should be possible. I would recommend looking at the QClipboard documentation.
