The problem is cause by this line:
useJpgForClipboard=true
If delete it, copy to clipboard can work.
This option don't work on windows, if I set it, then no capture will be copied to clipboard.
It seems not easy to copy image as jpg in windows, https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/blob/b4737f8ac65083c084696811c021bcb61fa750ac/src/utils/screenshotsaver.cpp#L116-L117 these lines are no use in windows, as this post shows. It also dosen't work on MacOS as comment says. I try a lot but can't find a way to fix. Maybe we should hide this option for windows and mac.
Have the same problem if run flameshot by command ./flameshot gui If run by ./flameshot and click to flameshot icon in systray, copy to clipboard working fine.
or using bash cript by hotkeys ./flameshot & ./flameshot gui
If used command
pkill flameshot
or
killall flameshot
before paste image to graphic editor, clipboard is clearing.
Checked with flameshot 12.0 and 12.1 OS: LiniuxMint 20.3
run script
./flameshot &
./flameshot gui
sleep 10
killall flameshot
After that I can past image during 10 seconds . Looks like while closing flameshot clearing clipboard.
