Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2013-01-12 15:27:26 UTC

When I copy an URL (or at least a local path) and paste it into Kolourpaint, all I get is the URL pasted as plain text. It should instead load the file and paste it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a picture in Gwenview
2. Choose Edit → Copy
3. Paste in Kolourpaint
Actual Results:  
The path to the file gets pasted

Expected Results:  
The picture itself gets pasted like if I used the "Paste from file" function

Will this minor bug get finally fixed? Pretty annoying that developers can not respect clipboard content and kolourpaint pastes text (URL / filepath) instead!
