CLI option --use-clipboard doesn't work

[ArkadyBuryakov]

Description

Running annotator --use-clipboard acts the same as running just annotator.

Steps

1. Copy image to clipboard
2. Run annotator --use-clipboard

Result

Annotator started with empty workspace

Expected result

Annotator started with opened image from clipboard

Comments

Pasting image from clipboard to a running Annotator works fine.

I am running annotator on Arch with Hyprland.
version 1.2.1-1 from AUR

I am seeing the same thing on my end as well after testing this out. Since I can replicate this issue on my end, I'll see what I can do to triage/fix the issue.

One additional note that I will add here is that opening an image from standard input does appear to be working (though there is a bug in the command-line argument handling code that won't allow a user to open a file in this way. Anyways, once that bug fix is available, doing the following does work:

Step 1. Copy an image to the clipboard
Step 2. From the command-line, run the command:

xclip -t image/png -o | ./app run -i

Of course, you would need to make sure that the xclip command is installed on your system. I don't think that the -i option will be an available option in your current installation.

FYI, I have just pushed the fix for the --standard-input (or -i) option to the master branch. If you are interested in compiling from source and trying it out, it is available from GitHub.

I can confirm that --standard-input workaround works fine with commit a9ec965 version

This issue has been fixed in the master branch.
