image options in context menu

The context menu for images (right-click) doesn't have a Copy Image to Clipboard feature. This is something that I use all the time -- I often paste stuff into docs, email, or straight into pbrush.

Also, when doing a Save Image As on certain images, such as those without extensions, the save dialog box only gives options for .htm, .txt, etc and no image types. An example of a page that does this is http://store.yahoo.com/viewsonic-store/

And if I may make one more comment: There's no way to pull up image properties, thus no way to view the url of an image on a page or see the size (Kcool smiley, height and width. I know this is not a big deal, but that information can be indispensible when developers work with pages.
I realize that a lot of these features are available in IE, and the small footprint and high performance seperate K-M from IE -- but some of these features can probably be implemented with little or no impact on performance. As K-M matures and becomes more of a complete replacement, I hope that you find these suggestions to be helpful.
Thanks for the great browser

Some other cool features would be like the Zoom in/Zoom out feature that IE has (with a plugin). Pretty much all it does is double or half the image width and height. I'll write in some JavaScript below to show you what i mean...

function resizeImage(objImg, lngZoom) {
// objImg is the reference to the Image that is passed in
// example: <img src=x.gif onclick=resizeImage(this);>
// set the image x = (lngZoom * x), y = (lngZoom * y)
// example: 0 = resize image to 0 x 0, 1 = resize the image to X x Y, 2 = resize the image to 2X x 2Y, .5 = resize the image to 0.5X x 0.5Y

objImg.height = parseInt(objImg.height * lngZoom);
objImg.width = parseInt(objImg.width * lngZoom);
return true;
}

Good suggestions. If you can file Request for Enhancements here:

http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/bugs/

The developers can be aware of what you want and maybe we can code that up.

Also missing is a right-click "View Image" option. In NS this at least slaps the image's (displayed) pixel size into the title bar.

What different behaviour would you like from KM's current "View Image" behaviour? When I right click on an image and select "View Image", KM opens a new window displaying only the image and its title bar displays "Image 150x220 pixels". So, except for the new window part, this seems like NS' behaviour (and personnaly I prefer the image to be displayed in a new window, as it permits to continue reading the original web page without having to go back).

Now how did I miss that? <scratches head>

How humilitating. I woulda sworn that when I tried to do that one of the first days I used KM, the right-click menu item was missing. Now it's there.

Must be old age. Mine, I mean. Eh, forget I said anything.

Nevertheless, after repeatingly trying this functionnality, I found what seems like a little bug. About once every two times, the "view image" new window does not display the pixel size for the image in the title. I can't tell what is it that makes the size appear or not, as it can display the size for one image and the next time I would try it on the same image the size won't appear.

For example, when I posted yesterday, I tried the "view image" on the K-M logo that can be found on the upper left of this page and it did display the size. Today, it won't display it when I tried it first, but did display the size on second try... Strange behaviour.
