would anyone please code up a tiny windows utility for me?
I need a program that allows me to drag/drop a bitmap file (bmp) onto it, and the program will copy the bitmap's image to the windows lipboard....allowing me to paste it elsewhere.
I would write this utility myself, but I've lost my copy of visual basic. :(
..and I have NO idea how to do this using win32-gdi.
Please, I don't ask much from people as far as coding goes, but this will shave at least 8 minutes of time for every image I need to process.
Remember, this needs to be a windows app, cause I'm stuck using a damned windows OS on my new computer (xp media center) due to the college courses requiring windows. cause they use directx.
bleh.
I miss my vb6.......if I had the cd...I'd have this utility written in under an hour. :\
Anyway, thank you to whoever codes this thing for me.
I highly appreciate it.

It's called IrfanView. Drag a file into the window to load it, press ctrl-C to copy it onto the clipboard. It can also crop, apply special effects, and convert between image formats. I use it primarily as an image viewer.

And here I thought that everybody had heard of IrfanView.
Well, spread the word then.

I though MS paint loads BMPs. You can open it in paint then copy it from there.

takes too long. I wanted a drag/drop/copy in one solution.
MSPaint would be: File->Open..browse..Load..Copy.
the browsing is whats takes the longest.
mspaint doesnt remember previous folders.
anyway, I actually just wrote a c++ app to load all the images and string them together into 1 wide image.
Irfan looks like it will be good though.

In windows explorer, right click on the file and then click edit to open it in paint.

Would you mind if packaged that with SceneLion? It needs such a facility for sprite framesets.
