Web Capture "copy" button should copy an image file, ready to be pasted into a folder
after using Web capture and snipping part of the screen, when you use the Copy button, you don't get an image file in the clipboard, you still need to open a new program like Paint to paste ...
HotCakeX, at risk of giving this higher visibility by posting, I disagree because your request would make the button semantically inconsistent with how it is used.
When selecting a portion of a web page, we are not selecting an image file, but rather an image or section of an image, so the semantically correct behavior of a "Copy" button would be to copy a section of an image. Otherwise, when selecting a section of an image in MS Paint, then clicking "Copy," we should expect to copy a newly created file there, too.
Additionally, needing to click "Add notes" to copy the image instead of a new image file is unintuitive. There just is not anything that suggests clicking that button is good for anything other than adding notes.
Perhaps a better alternative to changing the function of the existing button would be to add a new button with the text, "Copy as Image File"?
