OmniGraffle: Canvas to Clipboard to Craft

This Omni Automation plug-in for OmniGraffle “prints” the current canvas to the clipboard in PNG image format, and provides an option to switch to the Craft application for pasting into a document.

NOTE: The current PNG export settings for background transparency are used in the generation of the PNG image.
