WebKit2GTK (Tauri's renderer on Linux) does not expose clipboard images as `kind="file"` items in paste events, unlike WebView2 on Windows. As a result, pasting a screenshot or copied image via Ctrl+V silently did nothing — the file picker was the only working path. Fix: when the web paste API finds no image file items and there is no plain text in the clipboard, fall back to `tauri-plugin-clipboard-manager` to read the image natively, then convert the raw RGBA data through a canvas to a PNG File before handing it to the existing addFiles() path. The fallback is guarded by `"__TAURI__" in window` so it never runs in the browser dev build. Windows and macOS are unaffected (the web paste path already works on those renderers). Changes: - src-tauri/Cargo.toml: add tauri-plugin-clipboard-manager dep - src-tauri/src/lib.rs: register the clipboard plugin - src-tauri/capabilities/default.json: add clipboard-manager:allow-read-image - package.json: add @tauri-apps/plugin-clipboard-manager - src/components/Composer.tsx: async onPaste with native clipboard fallback Co-Authored-By: Hassan Rasool <hassanrasool1057@gmail.com>
