How to add an "Email Image" button to Export Image form in Schematic Editor?

tweeks

The schematic editor's Export Image form already lets you "Save to File" and "Copy to Clipboard".  I'd like to add another button "Email to Me" that would dump the image to a file using the settings in the form and call an existing shell script to mail the file to the user.

 What's the easiest way to achieve this effect? 

 

I'd like to use a technique like the one in http://www.cadence.com/forums/p/13412/20801.aspx#20801, but there are two problems:

 

1. I didn't create the form in the first place (it's built in to Virtuoso), and

2. "Export Image" is not a form:

hiIsForm(ExportImageDialog) => nil

    Sometimes it's better for the developer - and sometimes they offer more flexibility for the UI. Sometimes it means that we can reuse them in non-hi applications.

    In general, the forms are not designed with the intention that users will change them - that's just a lucky side-effect, rather than a design goal.
