Attempt to share directly from Spectacle

SUMMARY
I can't use KDE connect to share directly to my phone because the file doesn't exist.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take a screenshot
2. Share via KDE Connect
3. Select the target device

OBSERVED RESULT
I get a popup saying the file doesn't exist.

I see the directory in /tmp, but it only contains the lockfile
> ls -l /tmp/Spectacle.XKCAlG 
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 yamiyuki yamiyuki 95 Oct  4 10:15 lockfile


EXPECTED RESULT
Should be able to share directly without needing to manually save
