SUMMARY
When configuring spectacle to both automatically save and copy the screenshot to the clipboard, the screenshot is not saved unless the spectacle window is open, otherwise only copying the screentshot to the clipboard.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch spectacle
2. Click "Configure"
3. Under General, tick both "Copy image to clipboard" and "Autosave the image to the default location"
4. Close spectacle window
5. Click keyboard shortcut for screenshot i.e "Capture entire desktop" 
6. Check default screenshot folder and see that it was not saved, but it is possible to paste it from the clipboard.

OBSERVED RESULT
Instead of saving and copying to the clipboard at the same time, the screenshot is only copied to the clipboard. When the spectacle window is launched again the screenshot is saved.

EXPECTED RESULT
Spectacle should copy the image to the clipboard and save it at the same time while running in the background.
