Dragging the images from clipboard popup (Meta+V) and clipboard (System Tray) into Dolphin works fine. Can reproduce Before updating to KDE 6.5, I could clip images and then paste them into Dolphin as files—a useful feature. This feature no longer works after the upgrade. `wl-paste >> image.png` from the terminal works. It can be written using shell commands. Dragging and dropping images from the taskbar clipboard manager to Dolphin successfully writes them to PNG files. This feature is very useful and important. Could you please fix it? I'm also experiencing this, but not only with spectacle. In general, I can't paste any picture from other programs to Dolphin, even I can't drag and drop any picture from Firefox to Dolphin. I also discussed this at discuss.kde.org: https://discuss.kde.org/t/i-cant-paste-any-image-from-other-programs-to-dolphin/41896 (In reply to contact from comment #4) > I'm also experiencing this, but not only with spectacle.

The issue might be in KDE Frameworks kio. But Kwin had some clipboard changes recently so I suspect the regression might be there. It needs some debugging. Can confirm, but pasting the same image into Neochat and Discord works fine. In my experience, only pasting pictures in Dolphin and the desktop fails without any output to journalctl, but pasting the same picture to other programs works just fine A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8488 Git commit 0c91adf1a27f389ea790c0a8ca671e139755a4b5 by Vlad Zahorodnii.

Instead, it jumps to the null window, and then from the null window to the parent window. The window activation bits need more massaging. In meanwhile, keep the old data offers around. Not great, but it restores the old behavior.
