I’m excited to start working with the Camunda BPMN modeler as one of the more user friendly out there.
As I created a few processes already, I seem to hit the “Export to PNG” button a lot, downloading a file, opening it, copying it to clipboard and then pasting it into my Word/PowerPoint to present with richer annotations and context.
It would be so much better if I could just CTRL+C or hit a link/button “Copy to clipboard” and have that same PNG image information ready to paste into any application that accepts images.
Anyone else interested in this? (or did I miss something in the modeler? :-))
Thats quite interesting, i’d never considered using copy/paste for that.
Mainly because when I use the copy function i’m doing it so that i can paste the symbols somewhere else in the model or in a different model.
It might be hard to change the current functionalitiy to facilitate the copying to an image.
Hi Niall, thanks for your feedback.
I’m not asking for the copy/paste functionality to change, just to add an extra option “copy to clipboard”. Something like:
(but maybe “Copy diagram to clipboard”)
My current workaround is to use the “Image Capture” application from my OS (Specifically Windows Sniptool, but similar has to exist for Mac)… It creates a PNG of the selected area and copies it to the clipboard, ready to paste into Word / Messenger / email …
