Hotfix for #1.

Fixed

  • No longer imports the system-generated preview icon when you copy a file / folder / PDF in Finder or Explorer.
    • When you Cmd+C / Ctrl+C a file (especially a folder or PDF), macOS / Windows places both a file URL and an auto-generated preview thumbnail in the clipboard.
    • v1.2.0 saw the image/* slot and imported the icon — never what the user wanted.
    • v1.2.1 checks for a file URL first; when present, the image slot is treated as a system-generated thumbnail and skipped. Only the multi-file path runs (which itself filters to image extensions), and only if you opted into multi-file copy.
    • Net effect: copying a PDF / folder / non-image file is now completely silent — nothing lands in Eagle.

How to verify

After installing v1.2.1:

  1. Cmd+C on a folder in Finder → nothing should appear in Eagle
  2. Cmd+C on a PDF → nothing should appear in Eagle
  3. Cmd+C on a .txt / .docx → nothing should appear in Eagle
  4. Regular screenshot / browser image copy → still saves as before
  5. With "save multi-file copy" toggled on: Cmd+C on multiple images → all imported; Cmd+C on a folder → still nothing
