There are a number of Bugzilla reports related to images, but I just 
added a new enhancement request that hadn't been suggested there before:

<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=2473>

 From the report:
-------------
Currently, pasting an image from the Clipboard causes one of two things 
to happen:  either the image is pasted into the bottom-most image 
object, or if there are no image objects it creates a new image sized to 
match the entire card.  It's rarely the case in my own work that either 
is what I want. :)

It would be nice if there was a way to paste an image and have it create 
a new image object, regardless of whether other image objects may 
already exist.  Even better, this newly created object should be sized 
to the bounds of the clipboard image data, rather than creating an image 
sized to match the entire card.

Perhaps this new behavior could be differentiated by a global property.
If so, what should it be called?  Good names for such a thing elude me 
this afternoon....
------

If you like this idea and have some suggestions for what this property 
could be called, please add it to the report.
