The error that pops up after trying to share.

SUMMARY
Sharing (specifically sending to another device via KDE Connect) doesn't work when done with Export -> Share (-> Send to Device...)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Spectacle
2. Select an area
3. Do not click "Accept", but rather directly click "Export" and try to share the file

OBSERVED RESULT
It fails with "The file doesn't exist" error.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be sent to the chosen device.
