To add more explanation - the underlying problem is that many browsers and even many OS's never actually copy the binary image data to the clipboard no matter how hard you try. All you get is a link. By saving the image to disk, you prevent all of these issues and you have a consistent cross-platform gui. Also since it is binary data, there is no such things as a blank jpeg or png image file (unlike svg) to paste it into.

I currently have to save to disk, add file in Sigil and then I have to remember to remove the file. If copy/paste were available it would save time and actions required to complete the task.
I have tested and confirmed with gimp on my system that seamonkey does place the image in the clipboard, as I am able to copy/paste an image from it to gimp. Given this I would expect to be able to do so in Sigil. Yes the binary data would simply need to be written as the entire file within the epub, as Sigil is not intended to be a graphics/image editor. I am just looking to simplify the process I am going through.
