Previously in WhatsApp, you could select multiple messages with attachments (images), copy them and paste them into Explorer or One Commander window. But after I set One Commander as the default file manager and then returned Explorer, when I press Ctrl+V in Explorer or One Commander window, a beep is heard and at the bottom it says “Shell paste executed” and nothing happens. Files are not copied to the destination folder. I've tried setting One Commander as the default file manager again, but pasting images from WhatsApp using Ctrl+V still doesn't work. Has anyone encountered this behavior?

When I tried to drag-n-drop the image from WharsApp to One Commander, I've got an error message (in attachment)

I just installed whatsapp on Windows as I didn't have it. I registered OC as default. Had to click on attachment to download it before I could drag or right-click copy and paste in OC. Both worked. I tried also with image but I had to click it first as undownloaded image will return "...didn't contain valid data"
Tried also right click image, select, select two image-messages, copy in toolbar, paste in OC

What am I missing?

I apologize profusely.  I double-checked everything and found the source of the problem. It was caused by one of the Microsoft Power Toys settings (more precisely, Advanced Paste). One Comander is the best file manager on the market!
