Isn't this the expected behavior? The application that sets the
clipboard data has no idea what the consumer might need or would want
to do with the data. It could past the image, or it could take the
image's meta-data (STRING) and do something with it. Or it could take
the image's file name and copy the file somewhere. Or something else.
This is why it is customary to put all the relevant data types in the
clipboard, so that the consumers could take whatever they need.
