Problems With Macro Icons in Keyboard Maestro Version 9.1

Hi @appleianer - I know this thread is a year old but as I still miss being able to drag and drop an image file into a Macro's Icon Image Well, I've been using the Macro idea we came up with above (first opens the selected image in Preview, selects all, closes Preview etc). But suddenly today I realised a much simpler one Action solution to get the image from the Finder's Selected Image File (for example a .png file) into the clipboard ready to paste into Keyboard Maestro:

@Zabobon thanks for sharing :+1:

Your solution is really better than the detour via the preview app. I have extended your macro a bit. The prerequisite is that you select the macro in the KM Editor before starting it (blue).

Great! And not only have you made the whole Macro but also your usual nice video demo :slightly_smiling_face:

@Zabobon, who has missed the English lessons in school, which expresses itself just in moving pictures :rofl:

The thanks go to you for the improvement of the macro.
