Optimizations are not overwriting clipboard/pasteboard - sometimes (particularly for PNG → JPG conversions based on complexity) #25

Closed ylluminate closed 4 months ago

I'm finding that many times images that should be optimized, particularly when complexities are involved for transitioning PNGs to JPEG images, are not actually arriving into the pasteboard/clipboard and allowing paste of the newly optimized image into an app. It seems that it is successful in that the thumbnail is shown for Clop with the size savings, etc. - but yet the optimized version does not avail itself.

Any thoughts on how or why this could be happening and how to troubleshoot/debug this situation?

Resolved: I had, at one point, turned off Copy image paths due to a problem in the past and thus it was not utilizing this functionality to facilitate pasting JPEG images into programs. After reenabling this feature, this does work as I had expected it to within the program that I was needing it to work in most frequently. If I discover the original reason why I disabled that and/or any other issues (such as an app not using the path for such) I'll raise another issue as discussed in Discord.
