Drag-n-drop or copy paste pictures to other app

Asked by Arnljot Seem

I use Shotwell to collect and organize all my pictures. Now I want to use them, sometimes in other applications. I can not find a way to copy a picture from Shotwell and past into another application. Drag and drop is not working either. If I set up Gnome Image viewer to be the default external editor, I can drag it from there into for example Libre Office, but this is really awkward
Is there any other way to do this?

Thanks

Not something I've done. Is it the same in other desktops?

Tickcted here: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/1563. Unfortunately, to do this right we have to implement this first: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/1798

Other possibilities are to export the photo from Shotwell then import it into the app. Another is to use Shotwell's File -> Send To feature, which can be used to send photos to applications that support Nautilus' Send To command.

Can you help with this problem?
