copy and paste images into scratch projects
When you make a scratch project, it doesn't allow you to copy an image from google, and paste it onto your scratch project. So whenever i make a project, i have to save (download) the image i want, then put it onto my project. i don't like that method because it takes up lots memory on my
computer. can scratch please add this?
edit: why is nobody posting anything on this topic? DON'T IGNORE THIS! i might have to make a duplicate topic.

Support, It would be useful as it could take up less memory. But what would it be like? Give us a Mock-up.

I made a mock up. i hope you can see the difference. if your wondering why it's in dark mode, i'm using a chrome extention for it.
Edit: it says “paste image” in case your wondering
Edit 2: to make this, i just took a screenshot of scratch and a few other things on screen and added some text.

Support, It would be useful as it could take up less memory. But what would it be like? Give us a Mock-up.There doesn't really need to be a mockup. It us just copying an image from google (through right clicking or ctrl+c) and pasting it in the the scratch paint editor (through right clicking or ctrl+v).

Yes, I support the suggestion. There are many times when I have to put a lot of designs that I made on other sites and pictures on scratch and I keep having to download them. I found a duplicate that was closed though (so it doesn't count), but in the second to last post, a user wrote this:but do you support?Support, It would be useful as it could take up less memory. But what would it be like? Give us a Mock-up.There doesn't really need to be a mockup. It us just copying an image from google (through right clicking or ctrl+c) and pasting it in the the scratch paint editor (through right clicking or ctrl+v).
This suggestion has been accepted and currently works in the scratch paint editor, if you have any problems with this please post in the Bugs and Glitches forum , otherwise, please refrain from necroposting.Is there any proof that the Scratch Team are actually working on this and should the topic be reopened?
Meanwhile, here is another duplicate I found.

I love this suggestion. A lot of my projects involve getting photos from other sources, and it takes up way too much time to download and upload it. Huge support from me.

I recommend that you turn of really obvious browser extensions that change the look of the website completely (by right-clicking it on the top) before taking screenshots.it's a chrome extension i'm using but i can't say the name of it bc i will get bannedwhy do you have a pause button and a veribels tab?Support, It would be useful as it could take up less memory.

good idea. it should also have
right click>>paste
ctrl+v
functionality
edit: what if we don’t add a new button and just let the existing paste button do this too?
edit2: I wonder if they don’t have this to prevent inappropriate images that you would currently have to have downloaded on your computer to upload to scratch?
