    Default Feature Tweak: "Set as default" checkbox for paste dialog

    I do a lot of bitmap editing with copy/pasting into Xtreme. The option to set defaults for common paste types like bitmaps, would streamline the workflow by eliminating an unnecessary dialog when the same type is always chosen.

    The option could be reset in the main Options dialog.

    Among other things, it would speed up pasting from other apps when the Paste dialog opens on the "wrong" window on systems with dual monitors.

    Can you not drag and drop, when there is no dialogue.
    Design is thinking made visual.

    Yes, that works fine, at least from Windows Explorer. However there are times when you have copied to the clipboard (right click and copy a file from a web page, email, etc.) or if you do screen shot (ALT+PRINTSCREEN or PRINTSCREEN) and want to paste it in.

    It happens often enough that it would be a minor, though welcome enhancement to the work flow.

    Have you used the 'Import Graphics From Web' feature?
    I setup a button on the toolbar for this, then I right-click an image on a webpage and copy the URL, paste it into the import dialog and Xtreme imports it right onto the page.
    Very handy.
    If you enter the webpage URL, all available images are imported.

    Yes, I have the button. Regardless, I still copy and paste frequently from various sources.

    I drag & drop when it's an option. I can't ever remember needing to import a graphic from the web, so that feature doesn't apply for me. However, like Steven, I do copy & paste from other apps, particularly Paint Shop Pro.
