Feature request: Auto Paste when creating Clipboard-sized file

Hi again Stephen!

Yes, that script launched by the Events Manager works great! I added a confirm() call to ask if the automatic paste is desired and it does exactly what I need now.

Thank you (and Michael Hale) so much!

Here's what I have now:

/*
New Document from Clipboard Content.jsx
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-ideas/feature-request-auto-paste-when-creating-clipboard-sized-file/idc-p/12984246
v1.0 - 4th June 2022, Stephen Marsh
v1.0.1 - 8th June 2022, Rick Hohmann (added if-confirm to give the user the opportunity to skip the automatic paste)
*/

#target photoshop

if (confirm("Do you want to paste the Clipboard?")) {
    try {
        // New Doc from Clipboard - Courtesy of the late Michael L. Hale
        var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
        var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
        desc1.putString(stringIDToTypeID("preset"), "Clipboard");
        desc.putObject(charIDToTypeID("Nw  "), charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), desc1);
        executeAction(charIDToTypeID("Mk  "), desc, DialogModes.NO);
        // Paste the clipboard contents
        activeDocument.paste();
        // Flatten
        activeDocument.flatten();
        // Promote the Background to a standard layer
        // activeDocument.activeLayer.isBackgroundLayer = false;
    } catch (error) {
        alert("The clipboard is empty or does not have suitable content to create a new document!");
    }
}

Sorry Stephen! I didn't see your replies. I will try out the script today!

@Z by HP Workstations – So how did the script work for you?

I have upvoted, I think that this is a useful additional feature request/idea. I do many of my screenshot annotations in Apple Preview, which has this feature (my screenshots generally come from saved files, so I rarely use the New from Clipboard option).

One workaround, you can set up the Script Events Manager to use the paste command from an action or script whenever a new document is created. I'm not sure if it is possible so that this only happens when the clipboard document setup is used.
