      The clipboard can represent an image in two different ways:
      1) as a DataFormat.FILES entry : it happens when the user select a file
         image on his desktop and copy it
      2) as a DataFormat.IMAGE entry : it happens when the user select a portion
         of Image with his preferred image editor and copy it

      SB knows how to paste the first type of entry.
      It does not support the second type : since the image data have representation
      on the file system, it's not possible to create an ImageView + Image directly.

      One improvement of the Paste command could be this:
      when the Paste command detects an DataFormat.IMAGE entry (i.e. type #2 above),
      it could display a dialog that explains that image data must be saved first
      and propose a "Save As" button.
