Bug Description

If I recall correctly this happened to the old konqueror (I don't know in dolphin), but it would be nice that if my clipboard contains some text, and I paste it on an empty folder area, marlin would generate a new file with that selection.
The same should happen when pasting images.

Context menu should show instead the proper item (instead of just "Paste", should use "Paste as new image/document...")

This would save a lot of time, when it's needed to copy some content to a new file.

An interesting idea. It's certainly appealing, and would make saving a file to a specific location that much easier.
