I have created an upstream issue at https://github.com/tauri-apps/tao/issues/232, I will notify you once it is resolved.

Any progress on this, or potential workarounds that anyone suggests?

It seems that due to Linux's special handling of clipboards, using the JavaScript API for document.onpaste does not work as images don't come through correctly.

I have attempted to implement arboard to no success due to my beginner-level skills in Rust, specifically due to not knowing how to properly capture a paste event. Suggestions online immediate suggest things that would cause concern for memory leaks.

Any direction would be incredibly helpful, thank you!

If it helps in the meantime, I created https://crates.io/crates/clipboard_files

It reads file urls from the clipboard, and it does so well on Mac, Windows and Linux. However, it doesn't write file urls, and it neither reads nor writes image data. It would be great to have that, and I'd probably have use for it at some point too..

I made a tauri plugin that support both text and image. You could simply import the API methods in JavaScript or TypeScript.

  • https://github.com/CrossCopy/tauri-plugin-clipboard
  • Crate: https://crates.io/crates/tauri-plugin-clipboard
  • NPM Package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/tauri-plugin-clipboard-api?activeTab=readme

A demo app also included in the repo.

https://github.com/CrossCopy/tauri-plugin-clipboard now supports text, image, file, html, RTF and watching.

Closing as the official clipboard plugin for v2 now supports reading image, for any missing features please open an issue in https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace/issues
