Clipboard Image Paste

Windows only! Implemented by Dotsimulate, integrated by Function Store

Copy an image to your clipboard and paste it directly in TD with alt+v shortcut

  • You will be met with three options (hotkeys 1,2,3): 🟢 Paste as Movie File In, 🔵 Paste as locked Script TOP, 🟠 Paste as Annotate
  • When pasting as Movie File, the image also gets saved in the folder specified by toolkit settings (default: Assets/clipboard_images) 📂
  • The other two options will produce a locked TOP which increases your .toe file size but avoids external dependencies
  • WINDOWS ONLY — if anyone knows of a native Mac solution (not using external Python libs), let us know!
