Copying any non-standard format to the clipboard is probably complicated. IIRC you have to render multiple versions of your data so each client application gets the best version it can accept (see: Photoshop etc). I can understand if shekh gives a very low priority to something like that.

"Copy to clipboard" is supposed to always convert to rgb24.
Afaik no other clipboard picture format is widely supported; I tried to support alpha channel and gave up.
Why it does not work with some formats should be fixed, for some (historical?) reasons VD implemented 2 picture conversion routines: one is normal and the other (used for clipboard copy) covers only subset of formats.
