Pasting a selection into other programs works differently in XnView MP

[TimKraft]

xnview, thank you for that amazing program!

I also have an issue with clipboard - can't paste selection nowhere (except Krita).

An example with Skype 8.71.0.49.

Another example with Gimp 2.10.14

I'm using Window 10 Pro
XnView MP Version 0.98.3 64bits (May 6 2021)

It works if you use 'Copy to clipboard>Image'?

Ctrk+Shift+C
It works with Sjype, but not with Gimp

Thank you!

A lot of time has passed and I'm still suffering from this problem. I think I've figured out what the problem is. You should have paid attention to the last point about flushing the clipboard buffer. My guess is that the MP version does not complete the output stream when it saves an image to the clipboard. The problem people are pointing out in this thread happens when this case:

1. Select the cropped area in the MP version.
2. Ctrl+C.
3. Ctrl+V to Discord or Twitter.

However, if you quit MP after copying, the stream completes and you have a right image in the clipboard, and then when you paste it, you can paste the cropped image as intended.

1. Select the cropped area in the MP version.
2. Ctrl+C.
3. Exit the MP version.
4. Ctrl+V to Discord or Twitter.

Just wanted to confirm arngard's observation. After copying image data (in the browser or the viewer), I can only successfully paste the image data into Gimp after closing XnView MP.

I tested with XnView MP v1.7.2 x64 and Gimp 2.10.38

I also changed "Copy to clipboard > Image" to CTRL+c and think it should be default like in any other program. XnView is an image viewer after all, so why not copy image data with the universally known CTRL+c by default?

Copying part of image is buggy
and many more..

the problem is - 'Image content' shall be copied via CTRL+C command (see other apps)
SHIFT+CTRL+C shall be the advanced one with whatever additional stuff

I'd also prefer standard behavior.
