SUMMARY I tried copying a PNG file from chromium and create a new document, and it crashes for the latest appimage. There is not much in the log. Copy and paste works fine if the document already exists. I tried from kgwenview to see if it is a chromium thing and same issue. For the master build, it doesn't crash. But I just get a blank canvas. That said, I will note a difference in GUI as well (for the master build). When I click OK on the create from clipboard for JPGs, it asks me if I want to import it as web. For PNGs, after hitting OK, it gives a context menu asking if I want to import it into a new layer, file layer (same context menu when you do regular copy and paste) Though it seems that overall there is a different UI for JPG imports and PNGs. Cause even if I copy and paste into an existing document, a JPG, it gives a dialog while PNG gives the context menu. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Copy a PNG into clipboard 2. File->new->from clipboard->OK OBSERVED RESULT Nightly appimage build: crash Master: Blank document EXPECTED RESULT The PNG to show on the document SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSuse 15.3 KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.84.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Appimage is latest: e89467b Master is from Aug 6th: 527355ca
Testing with 5.0.0-prealpha appimages on Debian 10: Aug 14 (git afacd70) has no problem with a .png image from the clipboard but crashes with a New Image with a .jpg image from the clipboard giving a segmentation fault message in the terminal. Aug 15 (git c98w3cb) has no problem with .png or .jpg from the clipboard but with a New Image and .jpg from the clipboard, it opens up an optiopns list for New Layer, New Image, etc.
