Yup...this is definitely desired functionality. An obvious omission.

I would like to suggest that, in addition to pasting from clipboard, the user 
can
change the image just double clicking the Bitmap Image Shape (this would open 
the
file selection box), because currently he must do "Right Click > Actions > 
Change
image source..." which is not very intuitive.

Thanks.

This would be very nice.
I'd like to make sure we can paste by the following methods:
1) Ctrl-v
2) Edit->Paste
3) Right Click Context Menu -> Paste (Context Menu is missing cut, copy and 
paste)
4) Paste Icon (Note: Icons on top are missing cut,copy and paste)

I have 2 laptops both running Windows XP and Firefox 3. I updated Pencil on 
both to
1.0.6. Pasting an image from clipboard is now working on one of the laptops but 
not
on the other.

I'm still seeing this issue with V1.2. Pasting from clipboard seems to work one 
out
of 10 times still. Please help!

I end up copying images to a word doc and then copy it from there to pencil as 
a workaround. It works that way...

Open the image in photoshop then select from there(from photoshop) then paste 
in pencil. It should work 100% guarantee.
