Is there an existing issue for this?

Problem description

In Sigma, I copied a file using Ctrl+C, but I am unable to paste it into other apps, including Windows File Explorer.

Steps to reproduce

  1. copied a file using Ctrl+C
  2. paste in other apps.

Environment

Hey! I don't think that's easily achievable or even possible, there's no standard for this, and apps themselves usually don't handle file pasting.

Are you able to copy files from File Explorer to some other apps? If you have an example, I will take a look and try to replicate that

Hello, it's great to see your reply. I usually copy files from Windows Explorer and send them to my contacts via communication software such as WeChat and DingTalk, and this is feasible. I'm sorry that I haven't used other open-source file management tools, so I cannot provide you with useful references.

@HerbinZYH I will try to implement that in the future. I think WeChat and such apps might be just checking If the clipboard contains a path to a file.

I will test it soon
