copy the original image to the system clipboard.
I would really appreciate a feature that allows users to copy the original image to the system clipboard.
Currently, when an image is copied from the canvas, visualOS appears to place internal data on the clipboard for duplicating the element within visualOS. This works well for working inside visualOS, but it limits how easily images can be used with other applications.
If there were a separate “Copy Original Image” option that copied the actual original image to the system clipboard—at its original resolution and quality—it would greatly expand what visualOS can be used for.
For example, I could find an image visually on the canvas, copy it, and immediately paste it into Photoshop, Procreate, or another application. It would also work naturally with Apple’s Universal Clipboard, allowing an image copied on the Mac to be pasted directly into an app on the iPad.
This feature would be especially valuable to me because it would turn visualOS into more than just an infinite canvas. It could become a kind of visual file-storage canvas: a place where I can organize and store large numbers of images spatially, then retrieve the original image whenever I need it.
Instead of searching through folders and filenames, the workflow could simply be:
Find visually on the canvas → select → copy original image → paste into another app.
That would connect visual organization and actual production work into one seamless workflow.
I think this relatively simple capability could significantly expand the usefulness of visualOS, turning it from an idea-organizing canvas into a powerful workspace for storing, organizing, and reusing visual assets. For my workflow, this would add tremendous long-term value to the application.
Thabk you.

As an additional idea, I think “Reveal in Finder” would also be worth considering. Since the original files already exist on disk, being able to quickly locate the source file directly from the canvas would make it much easier to move between visualOS and other applications.

This is a great find and quite important the way I see it.
