copy selection as svg

Question

For exchange with other programs, it would be useful to copy a selection to the clipboard as an image (svg and bitmap are both useful).

It will thus be easy to paste the image to another program by pasting from the clipboard.

Answer 1

yEd already supports this feature. After selecting some elements, right-click to open the selection context menu and choose "Copy to System Clipboard".

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the answer.  However, the current behavior is not fully satisfactory.

In MS-Word, when pasting an image from an svg editor, such as Inkscape, Word offers :
Paste as Image( PNG )
Paste as Image(SVG)
Paste as Image(SVG Inkscape)

Using the method "Copy to System clipboard" in yEd, MS-Word offers:
Bitmap
Device Independent Bitmap
Picture (Enhanced Metafile)
Picture (PNG)

Moreover, when pasting as enhanced metafile, the image aspect ratio is different than the image displayed by yEd.

I would like the system clipboard to contain an image recognized as SVG by MS-Word and other common software.
