Prevent spectable from copying to clipboard?

When I take screenshot with PrntScr the screenshot gets copied to clipboard with a popup from blicpboard.

I want to avoid any copying to clipboard and instead outright open spectacle upon screen capture so that screenshot is put into the spectacle instead of into clipboard (so that I can immediately annotate it).

Which options do I modify to achieve this? (I tried them all with no success)

under configure>general, is the checkbox for “After taking a screenshot:” unchecked, and the dropdown under it set to do not copy anything?

this is what mine is set to, and when I press prntscr it just opens up spectacle with a screenshot of the entire screen

I have same settings but this only works if spectacle is already running, if it’s closed it will instead show a pop up in lower right screen with the screenshot, I need to click that pop up to bring up spectacle, but want spectacle to auto show instead of showing a popup.

This worked before but not now.

under configure>shortcuts, what is your Launch Spectacle shortcut set to
