TFS Power tip – pasting screenshots in a Work Item.
Wow, sometimes when trying something while not expecting it to work, it actually does work.
I made a screenshot of a bug and was already dreading the ‘paste in MS-Paint / Save / Add / Browse for file’ dance when I tried pressing ‘CTRL-V’ in the TFS 2008 File attachments tab.
Guess what… it worked! A file was created and automatically attached. Brilliant.
Update: It also works with other clipboard formats. Try copying content of an MS-Word file and pasting it.
