Testing Wanted for Windows Clipboard Copy/Paste for Images

@Harleya I’ve tested this and I really love it. I haven’t found any issues not already addressed.

On that note, though, I feel like there’s something fundamentally wrong with Blender’s UI development that is showing itself mostly through your work. You have quite a lot of absolutely incredible patches that are slowly rotting in the “not approved for Blender” graveyard:

https://developer.blender.org/D5117

I’m sure I’ve missed even more, those are just the immediate ones.

What can we do as users to get these patches into Blender? The answer is usually given as “provide feedback on the patch discussion threads”, but that doesn’t seem to have an effect, as all of these patches and threads have detailed discussions (and almost every reply in these discussions is saying “please add this to Blender!”)

Whenever I see a new patch from you, my initial reaction is excitement- everything you make is incredible. My next reaction is to resign myself to that fact that I’ll never actually get to use this new feature in a release version of Blender. There’s got to be something Blender users can do to influence Blender development- and again, I know that’s what this site is for, but clearly, feedback on this site does not correlate to what gets into Blender.

I’ve gone off-topic for sure, I apologize. I just desperately want to use your Windows clipboard, your better color picker, your visual camera controls, your better area docking, etc, and it’s frustrating seeing these things sitting as “open” on the project board for months or even years
