Created attachment 133564 [details] how to reproduce SUMMARY Images are not copied from dolphin to gimp STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. select any image and copy it (ctrl+c or mouse) in dolphin 2. try to paste it into gimp OBSERVED RESULT GIMP Message: There is no image data in the clipboard to paste. EXPECTED RESULT image should be inserted SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 33 and openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.3 (5.19.5 on Fedora) KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Noticed that prtsc and copy to clippboard work in this case, but meta + shift + prtsc and copy don't work. Drag-n-drop from dolphin to gimp is working PS Please excuse me for my english
Does it work from other file managers?
(In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #1) > Does it work from other file managers? I think it's not related to file manager. The whole image + clipboard functionality is working not in a way that I used to in other desktop environments / operating systems and it's unusable for some workflows. For example 1) I should be able to copy file from Dolphin, paste in browser as image 2) I should be able to copy image from Gimp, paste in browser 3) I should be able to copy from browser and paste in Gimp 4) I should be able to copy file from Dolphin and paste in LibreOffice (this part is worse because in libreoffice is pasted binary content of image file). 5) I should be able to screenshot and paste image in Gimp or browser. Nothing of it is working and it's quite popular workflow and especially important for beginners who often are trying to naturally to paste images everywhere and in KDE they are pasting instead "file://smile.jpg" instead of image.
I've tried also to uncheck "Ignore images" or change other settings in clipboard configuration without success.
This is actually a bug in GIMP. When you copy an image in Dolphin (or any other file manager) you're not actually copying the image itself, but rather a representation of the file itself. GIMP knows how to handle image data on the clipboard, and it knows how to handle files that are dragged into its main content area but does not know how to handle files on the clipboard. You should report this to GIMP's developers. Kolourpaint is smart enough to know how to do this, though. ;)
OK, maybe one of issues is Gimp fault. But what about Libre Office, browsers etc?
Works in LibreOffice when I tested it just now. So as you can see, it's up to individual apps to handle this case, and some already do.
Thanks for response. It's strange, that now it's working for me also. I've never seen problems with clipboard like that, but for sure it's not related to Gimp only. Anyway I'll open new issue when I will have more reproducible case.
