	=== Typical Usage ===		==Typical Usage==

	I've seen that the typical usage of a vector graphics program by a designer is to create shapes and lines for use in a graphics editing program. For example, a graphic designer uses illustrator to create some shapes and then pastes them into photoshop to create the final image. The analogy for InkScape would be to create the shapes and paste them into the GIMP. The reason for this is that the GIMP is fine for editing images, but it has lousy support for lines and shapes. Vector Graphics tools like InkScape and Illustrator aren't very good at creating effects and working with photographs. With good clipboard support, the two applications integrate together to make a complete set of graphics tools!

Request: Integration with the System Clipboard

	Inkscape should integrate better with the system clipboard on Windows. At least, allowing to copy a bitmap image would be highly useful. As it is the only alternative is to save a bitmap & paste it into office documents.		Inkscape should integrate better with the system clipboard on Windows. At least, allowing to copy a bitmap image would be highly useful. As it is the only alternative is to save a bitmap & paste it into office documents.

			The clipboard format should be configurable. On Windows for the paste option this is usually done with "paste special" where you can select which clipboard content should be pasted. Usually there is a combination of bitmap grafic/text/vector grafic available. The inkscape SVG editor should default to import the EMF vector grafic for pasting from Windows.

			When copying it should be configurable whether text,bitmap grafic of vector grafic or a bundle of all three should be put into the clipboard.

			Please note that there are applications like the PC Notestaker software that can't save to files but can only communicate via the clipboard. As of 2009-10 inkscape is not usable in combination with such software - what a pitty!
