Copy .png or .webp image to clipboard should render a preview, not a file path. Also: .webp doesn't render.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• Say you have two images (a image1.png and image2.webp) saved to disk.
• Select image1, and copy it to clipboard with ctrl+c. Repeat with image2.
• These are rendered as two file paths in CopyQ:

Describe the solution you'd like

The expected result was to see these images as image previews, not their file paths, e.g. like this:

Alternatives, and .webp image previews not supported at all?

• Also, I've tried right-clicking images on the web in Firefox, and selected "copy image".
  If this image is a .jpg or .png, the image (preview) is rendered correctly (second in list, the "sample" image).
• If this image is a .webp image, it is not rendered at all, only a blank "document" type icon (first in list):

Example:

This is the content of the clipboard with a random .webp image copied from this news article:

• It appears more than just the .webp image is copied on the clipboard, but all other programs accept the contents of the clipboard as an image when pasted with ctrl+v.

Additional context

• Running latest Windows 11, with CopyQ installed via scoop install.
• on an ASUS RoG Zephyrus M16 laptop (i9, 64gb).
• Latest Firefox.

Thanks for the detail description.

Unfortunately, it seems that a usable image data format is not provided by Firefox (or by Qt GUI framework).
