Input tab - Support pasting in files

[cday]

Would it be easy to add support for pasting in files, as an alternative means of loading files?

Would have been useful this morning when loading scans from a USB memory, but hardly essential.

what do you means?

I had been scanning to a USB memory on a scanner not connected to a computer. I then plugged the USB memory into my computer and looked at the scans, selected some that I wanted to batch process, and without thinking tried to paste them into the Input tab files space.

When I right-clicked to paste them in there was no context menu displayed, so I am asking whether it would be easy to allow files to be pasted in from a context menu. I have never done that before, but did it twice yesterday so it could in some way be an intuitive action.

Further consideration:

There are really two cases when the files to be loaded have been selected elsewhere:

1. Click in Input tab files window + Ctrl-V

2. Click in Input tab files window + Right-click context menu with Paste option.

Either option would avoid the need to browse to the files to be loaded.

Support for either or ideally both options might be a useful enhancement.
