pass an image (from scrot) to xclip/sysclip?
Hya
Does anyone know if one could pass an image file (obtained from scrot etc) to the system clip or xclip? programs like shutter/ksnapshot etc seem to do it but i cant find a solution for this for the life of me.
best

The only thing I could find is this python script.

Does this work?
scrot -e 'xclip $f'This works, to pass a scrot to feh:
scrot -e 'feh $f'Offline

What I've read suggests xclip doesn't work for images.
EDIT: But it works for me.
