When you copy an image in Messages.app, it puts both TIFF image data and the filepath of a temporary file on the clipboard. What's happening is that Alfred is only remembering the filepath, while your other clipboard history manager is saving both representations. That would normally be fine, but because it's only a temporary file, it's disappearing before you've pasted it. And that's what you're seeing when you paste and just get an icon and filename: a file that doesn't exist. I'd say this is a bug in Alfred. It's the nature of temporary files to disappear, so I'd argue Alfred shouldn't discard other representations if it would be left with only the path of a file in a designated temporary directory.

Alred does not seem to copy/paste MAC-OS IMessage images correctly..... In IMessage, I click on a photo that someone sent me. And click copy... It shows up in Alred Clipboard history... but when I paste it, it doesn't seem to actually paste the photo/image... seems almost more like a link. All other apps that I copy and paste using Alfred clipboard history seem to work fine.... just not images/photos in IMessage..... If I just copy an image in IMessage and do a regular paste (CMD-V), it works fine. If I open the image in preview and copy it from there, it seems to work..... Any thoughts or suggestions? I have Paste clipboard manager and it doesn't have this issue. Just trying to avoid using another utility. Below is what it looks like when I paste a copied image from Alred Clipboard history..... When I bring up Alred Clipboard History, this is what it says for the Copied IMessage image.... File : IMG_1234.Jpg (vs...... Image : IMG_5678.Jpg") Mac OS Big Sur 2016 Macbook Pro Alfred 4.3 Thanks GW

Yes you are correct, it says "File : Image_XX.JPG"..... I was hoping it was just a setting change, not a bug..... Thanks
