In case you weren't aware.

In most email clients (outlook, Thunderbird ETC), you can copy files from your file explorer directly into the message body of your email. Saves trying to go through the browse dialogue and add attachments that way.

Thank you for coming to my tired talk.

@Bri @tired_and_wired I tried that just yesterday. I copied the file in Explorer, went to the email I was writing, and pasted. Nothing happened. I figured it just wasn't a thing. You mean it should have worked?

@alexhall @Bri yes. It shyould have worked.

@tired_and_wired @alexhall @Bri That works perfectly in Outlook and GMail Web. Thunderbird you still have to envoke the attach dialog with Ctrl+Shift+A, but can then paste as you otherwise would.

@jackf723 @tired_and_wired @Bri Good to know, thanks. So I just paste right into the path text field of the file chooser window? I never would have thought to do that.

@alexhall Yes. Copy the file to the clipboard, paste it into the filename box of any Open dialog and it will be converted to a textual path with proper quoting. @jackf723 @tired_and_wired @Bri

@jscholes @alexhall @jackf723 @Bri You can also do this in MS Word.

@jscholes @alexhall @jackf723 @Bri I don't know if it works in things like Open Office or LibreOffice, but it does work in word.

@tired_and_wired @jscholes @alexhall @Bri Yup, it will work in the open dialog of any Libra Office application as well.
