So far I haven’t had issues with copying images from other software and pasting them in PixiEditor, but I can’t figure out how to do this the other way around
Something I do quite often with paint.net is select part of a drawing and paste it on Discord to show everyone what I’m making, and so of course I tried to do that with PixiEditor (after all, you can copy external images into PixiEditor, so i figured i’d be able to do this as well)
But I can’t really get it to work? When I tried pasting my selection on Discord, nothing appeared, so instead I tried pasting on paint.net (see images below)
Is there a way to copy-paste selections from PixiEditor to other software? Having to crop the image and export it as a .png isn’t quite convenient
Worth noting that I can paste my own selections inside PixiEditor just fine, I just cannot paste them anywhere else
Currently in PixiEditor, the image is not really copied in your clipboard.
Instead, it copies it to %localappdata%/PixiEditor/Copied.png (if you’re on Windows).
Maybe I’m false tho, I’m not a maintainer.

Copy pasting is a never ending nightmare. Every software does it differently and detecting image formats is not universal. PixiEditor tries its best to include many possible formats. It includes a path to temporary file (as @volcano said), but it also puts .png data into the clipboard and as far as I remember some other formats.
But something happened between updates actually, because paint and paint.net was able to recognize PixiEditor copied data some time ago, so we might investigate that. Thanks for reporting
