...is a script to copy images to clipboard on linux.
- unlike xclip, does not care about image size within reason (chromium did not like 100mb+ Hubble images, however telegram-desktop was just fine, ~10-15mb works on both, but it might take a few second to process)
- thanks to PyQt, automatically provides a lot of targets for an image (see below)

> xclip -sel clip -t TARGETS -o

You probably already know how to install it ;)
clpimg.py is a simple script to copy images to clipboard
usage:
clpimg.py image.png - copy to clipboard
clpimg.py -s - show supported image formats

notify-send supports images, so you could wrap this script in something like
#!/usr/bin/env sh
thumb="$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/thumb.jpg"
convert -thumbnail x150 -unsharp 0x.5 "$1" "$thumb" &
clpimg.py "$1"
echo -n "$(realpath "$1")" | xclip
wait
notify-send "clipped image" "$(basename "$1")" -i "$thumb"...to get
- does not support reading images from stdin (yet)
- does not like wrong icc profiles (just strip them with
mogrify)
