UPDATE: This is fixed partly in the new Udate to 5.103 now. Problem persists: Screenshot is automatically copied but when trying to paste to dolphin, its mimetype is "application/x-kde-onlyReplaceEmpty" instead of "image/png" or "image/jpeg" Operating System: Fedora Linux 37 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.11-200.fc37.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
Libreoffice works with copy-paste, so this only affects pasting to Dolphin
The original bug mentioned seems to be in the wrong category and it's not clear what it's about anymore, so I'm marking this as resolved. If you want spectacle to use your preferred image format when copying to clipboard, there's https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465781.
No this is not solved? Occuring on 5.27.4 1. I take a screenshot and copy it to clipboard 2. In dolphin I press ctrl+v 3. A dialog for renaming the image appears, the format is PNG but in the dialog the default is something with KDE 4. I paste it with this mimetype, the image is broken and does not work Spectacles images are PNGs. Saving it as jpeg does not reduce the size. So the solution is to set png as default
So the problem is on KDE the extension is png but the mimetype something else
(In reply to Henning from comment #7) > So the problem is on KDE the extension is png but the mimetype something else The mimetype is application/x-qt-image (basically represents a QImage), which is expected when using QMimeData::setImageData() to send images to the clipboard (the usual way to send images to the clipboard). When you actually paste the image, the usual data format you get is PNG, probably because it's a lossless format that the original data can be easily converted to. application/x-kde-onlyReplaceEmpty is not actually part of the image's mime data, it's an extra bit of data sent along with the other data when you have the option to prevent the clipboard from becoming empty enabled. This behavior is defined in Klipper, not Spectacle: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/klipper/klipper.cpp#L818 The reason I closed this bug report was because there are 2 unrelated reports here. You can't go back and edit a bug report message on bugzilla and it would be best if a new bug report was created instead of using one bug report for 2 unrelated bugs. There doesn't seem to actually be a bug in Spectacle though, so I'm marking this as fixed since the original reported bug was fixed. Please make a new bug report if you still have a problem.
For me the mimetype is "application/x-kde-onlyReplaceEmpty" and no matter if I just name a screenshot "test" or "test.png" it is not saved. If I manually switch the mimetype over to "PNG" then it is saved. So the solution is just to make it default to PNG as a workaround, listen to users defaults in the end. But how it is the image is not even saved in Dolphin.
Please make a new bug report for the Plasmashell product with the Clipboard component. There are 2 unrelated bug reports here and the first one was fixed.
