Can't copy cover art to clipboard using ⌘C from "Get Info" dialog #205

Open lgarron opened 7 months ago

In Music.app on macOS:

  1. Right-click on a song with cover art, then click "Get Info". (Alternatively, press ⌘I)
  2. Select the "Artwork" tab.
  3. Click on the artwork to select it.
  4. Press ⌘C

Expected: the artwork is copied to the clipboard.

Instead, nothing happens.

I'm 100% sure this used to work, and I'm 90% sure I'm not doing anything differently than when it used to work for me. If I had to make a wild guess, I'd guess that Apple broke this while implementing Album Motion. They didn't break embedded cover art of the ability to extract/set it in general, though.

A simple workaround for now is to drag and drop the cover art into Finder. This can then be dragged into the info for another song.
