Description

I've noticed lately that whenever I copy graphics/images, Maccy hangs for at least a few seconds and consequently hangs the program I'm copying the graphics from. Of course, while working with large images this is understandable, but the thing is: I disabled "Images" in the Storage tab of Maccy settings. The behavior didn't change after changing this setting/restarting my Mac and/or Maccy.

In addition, Maccy tends to hang for a few seconds every time I want to open the Maccy meny by clicking its icon in the menu bar.

This issue does not occur when Maccy is not open/active.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Disable "Images" and "Files" in the Storage section of the Maccy options.
2. Copy any type of (large) graphics/image in Affinity Photo/Affinity Designer (these are the apps I have experience with)
3. The program as well as the Maccy app hang for a few seconds.

Following workaround worked for me (at least in designer) until the bug is fixed:

add com.seriflabs.persona.nodes to ignored pasteboard types, see here

pasteboard viewer hangs with designer as well, so it might be a general problem with affinity

Actually, no, it's a different problem.
