Paste images and screenshots into Trac pages

Description

This is a Trac plugin that allows you to attach images and screenshots to tickets, wiki pages, blog pages etc directly from the clipboard. With this plugin it is no longer necessary to save them locally first and then uploading them into Trac.

This plugin uses the ​Supa applet, the Screenshot UPload Applet, which is written by Christoph Linder in 2010 and LGPL-2.1 licensed.

Usage

Once the plugin is installed, you can easily attach a screenshot or any image you have in the clipboard to a ticket or wiki page.

Attach a screenshot or an image to a Trac ticket

First, grab a screenshot or copy an image, for example, from the browser or an email.

Then, from a ticket, add an attachment as usual:

Adding an attachment while creating a Ticket

The first time, you will get a Java security warning. Click Run to run the applet:

Java security question for the applet

You will notice the extra section above the usual file attachment one.

Click Paste the Captured Screenshot to provide the screenshot to the plugin applet and to see a preview:

Paste the image you have in memory. Get a preview

Then click Send the Screenshot to actually send it to Trac and save it as an attachment:

Click Upload to send the image to Trac

See the image file name generated and attached to the ticket:

The image attached as a file, with unique name generated

Attach a screenshot or an image to a Trac wiki page

The steps are very similar to the ones used for attaching to a Ticket.

First, grab a screenshot or copy an image, for example, from the browser or an email.

Then, from a wiki page, add an attachment as usual:

Adding an attachment to a Wiki page

Then follow the steps described above for Ticket attachments.

When done, you will see the image file name generated and attached to the Wiki page:
