I get so used to other applications allowing pasting images from the clipboard that I believe it would be a piece of cake for Glide to allow that, both in the data editor and directly into some component on the screen.

Like this: (hitting just now…)

It’s kind of possible if you first click the cell and then select insert image from URL. But I agree, bypassing that step would save some time.

Except that I do not have a URL; all I have is an image in the clipboard.

Oh my apologies. I misunderstood. Should be possible. Glide uses paste-copied-image technology in the AI component. They’re just need to bring it over to the column. Voted.

One of the best feature request I read so far! Hope they add it asap.
