--- Comment #2 from Nicolas Fella <nicolas.fe...@gmx.de> ---
It's, umh, complicated.

The copy/paste actions aren't using the system's clipboard, instead what they
do is allow you to copy/paste files _within_ a writable archive. The fact that
the copy button is enabled in a read-only archive doesn't help with this
confusion either.

I assume that you want it to copy/paste between Ark and another application,
which is a perfectly reasonable expectation. However this is surprisingly hard
to implement properly. Same story with Drag and Drop (as can be seen in a
recent video). For Drag and Drop we have a hack that makes it work between Ark
and Dolphin. We probably could use that for Copy/Paste as well, but that
wouldn't help with other applications. I'm planning to make a detailed writeup
of the technicalities of this problem to start a conversation on how we can
solve this
