Then they have a file not an image in the clipboard.

The fact that the file contains a JPG image is irrelevant.

OK then. "image/x-java-image", not application/x-java-file-list.

That is what I said in my first post. "image/x-java-image" is what Java return when you copy a Image (print screen, open Paint select, copy etc).

When you copy a File it returns a List of Files.

It sounds to me like the OP has copied an image from an image program (or hit print screen). At which point it is a raw pixel buffer.
