The bug you're looking for is Bug 375382. And there's an open patch for it: https://phabricator.kde.org/D9117 It's not yet implemented because we still haven't reached consensus regarding how to solve the issue of keeping an image in a global clipboard after Spectacle quits. Right now the KDE clipboard manager Klipper explicitly ignores images in order to avoid using too much memory (which is especially relevant since the clipboard contents are saved across reboots, so this could potentially increase startup memory usage by quite a bit--up to 70MB with a clipboard full of high resolution images). It's on our radar screens, don't worry. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
