Bug ID: 501949
Summary: Spectacle takes a very long time to copy a 4K
screenshot to clipboard
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 6.3.3
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Spectacle takes a very long time to copy a 4K screenshot to clipboard. 1080p
screenshots are way faster.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the 'Copy image to clipboard' option ('After taking a screenshot') in
Spectacle's general settings
2. Also enable the 'Save file to default folder' checkbox
3. Take a fullscreen screenshot of a 4K desktop
OBSERVED RESULT
The image file is created rather fast in contrast to copying the image to
clipboard which creates a huge delay
EXPECTED RESULT
The screenshot is copied reasonably fast to clipboard
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.13.8-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor
Memory: 62.7 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I assume this is a limitation of clipboard image handling as opposed to it
being purely a Spectacle issue, but there might potentially be a better
solution, like copying the image handle to the clipboard (this works with most
apps that accept files pasted from clipboard, including browsers). Currently,
this option does not exist (only copying the image location is possible).
I am also using 200% display scaling.
