The Copy to the clipboard option doesn't work when I'm saving a gif in the Save as menu. I'm able to save the gif to a file, but nothing gets added to the clipboard.

@NickeManarin commented on GitHub (Nov 22, 2020):

Copy to clipboard > File

This option is the same as Ctrl + C the file inside the Windows Explorer.

You can't copy Gifs to the clipboard the same way as an image, because Windows does not provide an API for that.
It's impossible for me to add this feature.
