Kap: Copy GIF to clipboard results in PNG being pasted
macOS version: 10.14.6
Kap version: https://github.com/wulkano/kap/commit/735ddaf8cdfd03db4481c816647a6bcce10aa936
Current behaviour
Showing GitHub as paste target here, same issue applies to Slack for example.
Expected behaviour
It copies the exported GIF to the clipboard.

As a workaround, you can export to file, then drag and drop from the exports window

That is a bug in Chrome which has been open for years. Not much we can do about it.

@sindresorhus Oh. Wow. I wonder where people try to copy GIFs besides Chrome and Electron applications, that nobody reported this yet here 馃槄

Earlier this functionality was provided by the kap-clipboard plugin, which is now deprecated. We only recently made it available through Kap itself and we're really bummed that this has been lingering upstream for so long.

I even got Chrome friends to comment on the bug with no result...

We should definitely add back drag and drop, but built-in, as that actually works with Chrome.

It'd be really cool to drag and drop right off the preview, but we need to convert the file first... At least you can drag and drop from the export history.
