Why is it using a temp file? Is there really no more elegant way to pass around pointers to images than spilling to disk?

Of course there is, but slop generators be slopping

I admire you for what you've created wrt Sumatra. It's an excellent piece of software. But, as a matter of principle, I refuse to knowingly contribute to codebases using AI to generate code, including drive-by hints, suggestions, etc.

You, or rather Claude, are not the first to solve this problem and there are examples of better solutions out there. Since you're willing to let Claude regurgitate other people's work, feel free to look it up yourself or have Claude do it for you.
