--- Comment #11 from Noah Davis <noaha...@gmail.com> --- It is unfortunately not possible to reliably copy images to the clipboard in a specific format. You can copy in a specific format, but you will run into issues like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485096. There are ways to work around that, but they're unreliable. Worst of all, when you close spectacle, the system will decompress the data. PNG is unaffected by the decompression, but lossy formats like JPEG and WEBP will become 2-8x larger than their compressed size. Usually, they become as large or significantly larger than PNGs would be, making it pointless to copy in those formats unless users always keep the Spectacle instance while they are pasting. I could allow pasting specific formats with that quirky behavior, but I don't think I should because it's too unreliable and will just frustrate people. PNG eliminates most of the data size issues with uncompressed image data. Perhaps Spectacle should always copy images as PNGs instead of uncompressed images or another format. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
