Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/996

I like to use ScreenToGif to document bugs. I usually do this by saving the gif into a file, opening the gif with another tool that allows me to copy it into the clipboard, and finally I would paste the gif into a Jira-Bug-report simply by pressing ctrl-v.

I tired to copy the gif directly from SreenToGif, but this doesn't seem to work. ScreenToGif copies only a single frame, as far as I can see.

Is it possible to add a C&P feature, or does it already exist and I missed it?

BTW: THX for creating such a great tool!

Hi, it's not possible to copy a gif into the clicpboard because of a Windows limitation. Only a bitmap can be copied as image and pasted where its accepted.

What sometimes work is to copy as file or file path and some programs will load the image normally.
