Un complemento demasiado práctico para ser realidad 😉
Hasta ahora, el único en su tipo, no he visto otro que haga algo tan simple como copiar una imagen al porta-papeles, para luego pegarlo en la biblioteca de medios.
Maravilloso!

Man, such a great plugin! I hope the author continues to maintain it. This should be a default function in wordpress.
GREAT JOB!

I regularly copy & paste images between programs on my computer, most of the time it's Chrome to Photoshop.
I'm glad I found this plugin to assist me, instead of having to save images to my PC every time I want to upload.
One tiny bug that isn't too big of a problem: I sometimes can't click between "Media Library" and "Copy & Paste". I have to go from "Media Library" to "Upload Files", THEN click "Copy & Paste". Otherwise the menu doesn't change. No big deal!
