Description

Hi, dear. My problem is exactly the same as mentioned in the following Post:

https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/1100

but the code that was given at it does not work for me. I don't know if it is a bug in new version of CopyQ or an incompatibility between CopyQ and the new version of my browser!?

When I press F4, the following formats are listed for my images:

text/plain text/html

Thanks for any help Best Regards

Examine the clipboard format handling logic, specifically how image formats are detected and stored. Trace the code path when copying from browsers to identify missing image format support.
