It is for the wxt and qt terminals anyway.  There is one widget that saves
to the clipboard
and another widget that saves to a filetype of your choice.

Can you back up one step and explain why you can about the dpi field?
In my experience most if not all programs that read a bitmap file ignore
this field.
For instance if you import a bitmap file into Word or LaTeX or PowerPoint or
whatever you can scale it up or down to fit the desired size without regard
to
whatever the original dpi was.
What program are you dealing with where this is an issue?
