I used the following copy-command to solve the problem referenced in #95.
copy-command = "cliphist store && cliphist list | head -n 1 | cliphist decode | wl-copy"
Not sure if there is a simpler command here, but this worked for me.
Now, when I click the copy button and close Satty (or have early-exit enabled), the image persists in cliphist and so it keeps the contents of the clipboard from being destroyed.
Consider adding something in FAQ to help others? I feel it should be considered expected behavior, especially with early-exit functionality.
