pngpaste's Introduction

pngpaste

Paste PNG into files on MacOS, much like pbpaste does for text.

However instead of pngpaste > thefile.png, it's pngpaste thefile.png, so one does not accidentally barf binary into the console.

Motivation

http://apple.stackexchange.com/q/11100/4795

Build

$ make all

Installation

From source:

$ make all
$ sudo make install

Or with Homebrew:

$ brew install pngpaste

Usage

$ pngpaste hooray.png

Bonus and Disclaimers

Supported input formats are PNG, PDF, GIF, TIF, JPEG.

Supported output formats are PNG, GIF, JPEG, TIFF.

Output formats are determined by the provided filename extension, falling back to PNG.

It's unclear if EXIF data in JPEG sources are preserved. There's an issue with pasting into JPEG format from a GIF source.

Error Handling

pngpaste's Issues

State that it's for MacOS in README and description

Thanks for this project, it's fantastic to have this functionality.

I'd like to suggest changing the README and repo description to say

Paste PNG into files on MacOS, much like pbpaste does for text.

Currently the only clue that it's MacOS only is the apple.stackexchange link.

Format agnostic tool?

Would it be possible to make it format agnostic? e.g. to detect JPG and store as JPG... I would not like to clone just to make a jpg version of it; would it be cool to have it all in one.
wdyt?

Error: "261:313: execution error: sh: /us/local bin/pngpaste: No such file or directory (127)"

I’ve tried to set this up with Automator but I’m always getting this error when trying to paste the image.

$ make

cc -Wall -g -O3 -ObjC \
	-framework Foundation -framework AppKit \
	-o pngpaste \
	pngpaste.m
cc: error: Foundation: No such file or directory
cc: error: AppKit: No such file or directory
cc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-framework’
cc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-framework’
make: *** [Makefile:3: all] Error 1

how can fix?

pngcopy

Now if only I could do this:

pngpaste - | convert - -resize 50% - | pngcopy

Allow raw binary dump

Hello,

Thanks for the work with pngpaste.

I would like to have a flag (possible values are, for example, --raw and --binary — you might come with something better) that would allow pngpaste to behave like pbpaste.

That way, I can pipe the raw content to another process, such as curl, and upload it directly from memory, without having to create a temp file for that.

Is this something you could do, or should I educate myself with the source and create a PR?

Thanks.

Any chance for a jpgpaste?

Would that require a lot of code/effort?

Newer tags with lower version numbers

Why are there newer tags with lower version numbers than the older tags?

Is this software still being maintained?

gif animation

pngpaste will only paste or base64 convert image data of the first frame of an animation.

It would be nice to output the entire file data, instead.

Add option to output to stdout

paste animated gif

Hi!
Is it possible to add paste of an animated gif?
Currently it does paste only the icon of it:

rosetta error: /var/db/oah..../pngpaste.aot: attachment of code signature supplement failed: 1

I distribute pngpaste to users in my Adobe After Effects CEP extension as a means of pasting clipboard images into After Effects. I am getting some users reporting this error on M1 macs. However, I am on an M1 and I am not getting this error. Any suggestions?
