Description

This is perhaps related to #110. When I try to drag an image file from fman into Discord, I get the red "cancel" circle indicating it can't be done. Nor can I copy the image data and paste it into Discord. The only workaround I've found is to just use fman to find my file, then open it in Explorer and drag it into Discord. Drag and drop does work for me when copying/pasting into other apps like Firefox though.

I'm on Windows 10, version 1809.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 version 1809 by dragging or copying an image from fman into Discord, then compare the same actions in Firefox and Explorer. With no files or tests named, first locate fman's Windows drag-and-drop and clipboard integration; done means both image drag-and-drop and copy-paste work in Discord.
