How can I paste an entire file from clipboard to a folder?
#2
Your ability to do something like this would be dependent on how good your knowledge of Windows system programming is.

Basically when you copy a file to the clipboard in Explorer, it puts the necessary information there in a certain format:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...descriptor

Once you have mastered the details of that format, the next step would be to figure out how to access the clipboard data in Python and decode it.
There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
