            Bug ID: 416970
           Summary: Spectacle -b copy copies image URI instead of image.
           Product: Spectacle
           Version: 19.12.1
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: General

Video of the issue.

I have spectacle configured in keyboard shortcuts so "Shift+PrtSc" captures a
rectangular region. (This runs spectacle -br, as far as I can tell.) This
works, however, I cannot copy the resulting image directly to my clipboard.
Instead, it is immediately saved (because of the "background" option) and the
copy action in the window in the lower-right hand corner of the screen merely
copies its file *path* instead of the actual image data This makes pasting
images very tedious. Spectacle run with full GUI happily copies images to my
clipboard, and spectacle run with `spectacle -r` also allows me to copy to
clipboard. Attached is a video that should make this much clearer.

Suggested behavior: spectacle -b (background screenshot)'s notification's copy
menu should copy the image data, rather than the URI, to be consistent with the
rest of the application.
I'm currently just setting a custom bind of spectable -r for the meantime.
