[Feature]: Edit from stdin

[claymorwan]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

most screenshot editor apps like gradia or swappy are able to load an image from stdin, which allow to use a screenshot tool to output the image in stdout and then pipe it in the editor. I'd like to do the same with this plugin's editor but issue is the only way to load a file is from a path

Describe the solution you'd like

add an ipc call called editStdin (dms ipc call quickCapture editStdin <stdin>), this would allow to pipe it like so: <cmd that outputs an image in stdout> | dms ipc call quickCapture editStdin

Describe alternatives you've considered

DMS IPC is designed for lightweight string-based commands, not binary image streams. Passing images directly would add buffering, encoding, backpressure, timeout, and responsiveness issues. A safer solution is a small stdin wrapper that writes the image to a temporary file and passes it to the existing openImage IPC command.

mhm that's fair, idk much abt DMS IPC since i haven't worked with those yet, thanks for the info!!

If the required changes are small and maintainable, I may prepare a patch for DankMaterialShell upstream instead of implementing a plugin-specific workaround.

I'll reopen this issue for reminder.
