but does the file actually exist?

[Guym142]

but does the file actually exist?

No, the file doesn't exist in this path

[1over137]

Can't reproduce this. It works fine for me even on Windows. I was able to add several cards. Does this occur on every image you try to paste, or only some? What if you reset your settings?

[1over137]

does this still occur?

[Guym142]

Yes, it still happens even after reinstalling

[1over137]

You sure you didn't skip something? There should really be a line in the log like this: Received image, saving to disk as ....

[1over137]

Ah, I think I know what went wrong. Can you press Help -> Open data folder, and check if there is a folder name "images"? If it is not present, create it. This should probably fix it. I think I accidentally removed the code to create it

Solved in version 0.12.0
