Right click copy image cannot copy the image to other application

[streetwriters[bot]]

To copy the image and paste it into another application, right click on the image and select "copy". However, this will not actually copy the image. This should be fixed show it won't block the operation of pasting the picture to other app e.g. sending the picture via IM.

Hi, we were able to reproduce this on desktop and will be adding support for this.

not possible right now :

If there is a dependency make it difficult to implement, would that be possible to provide a way to copy via any workaround, at least a shortcut key like selected the image and press cmd + C helps to copy. Currently, there is no way to copy the image from the editor.

Side-note: Obsidian (electron) support right-click copy image as well.

Hi @ammarahm-ed @alihamuh, do you think there is any workaround to support this?

It is possible. Joplin added it like this: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dd04a39f3b0add299adc0bf26e74c68813414ce3/packages/app-desktop/services/electron-context-menu.js#L130-L137

Thanks @thecodrr ! That will be very important to me. Will that be added soon?
