Your new clipboard visual is close to something I was also playing with after Walter's comment that he though the icon should indicate/represent the left Frame edge in some way. I'm not sure though that this approach leads to a clear visual for the user to understand (we don't visually indicate places/sides of the Frame in any other cases). Let's see if we get any more feedback from others, but Simon might want to go ahead land a version with the scissors visual if he's ready.

I've removed the inkscape XML, tidied the code a little and added in the fill/stroke entities for user colour, happy to go with this if there are no other objections:

I went ahead with the design proposal (use of the scissor icon for the 
clipboard icon and an extra option for the duplicate option) and rebased 
my code. However I run into a few issues I want to explain with the 
screenshots attached.

device.png (the option displayed for a a file on a external device): Do 
we display the duplicate option there as well (duplicate a file on an 
external device)? How is it colored if - black and white because it is 
not 'owned'? We miss here the Journal as an option for the file to be 
copied to, that can be added.

Journal.png: How does the coloring of the clipboard icon looks like? As 
it is only made for one color, coloring it looks strange. Use Manu's 
icon instead? Make it black and white? Change the icon to support double 
color?

Regards,
    Simon
