"no image data to paste" error message when copying and pasting an image from an outside application into Gimp
The problem arises when you want to copy and paste a picture outside of the Gimp program, such as copying a picture from the Windows Picture Viewer and pasting it into the Gimp workspace, another case is doing the same copy process but this time from the option "File">"Create">"From the clipboard". In both cases the program through the dialog box me reports that: "there is no image data to paste into the clipboard" I use Windows 8.1 and LinuxMint, on both systems the same thing happens, the version of Gimp is 2.10.18
