Screencapture + Copy + Transparency issue

Please forgive if this is a duplicate, as I didn't spend the time searching, nor was this tested in 2.1 but rather within 2.0.3.

If the user performs the following activities:
1) Toggle Image Capture mode
2) Select whatever section desired
3) Right-Click to make sure "transparency" is set
4) Right-Click and copy this selection
5) Paste image back onto the score

The result is lacking transparency, yet this transparency works fine if the capture was saved to file rather than saved to clip-board via the copy function. This should be fixed.

Same problem in 2.1
Interestingly in this case the image stored inside the mscz file has no extension, no ".png", regardless being an PNG file. And indeed that file isn't transparent

Instead of copy/paste you could use Ctrl+Shift+drag, this inserts the images as an SVG

OTOH if I ignore the comment and change the code to use preferences.pngTransparent rather than false, it seems to work just fine.
That code is in since 810d798c, prior to the release of 2.0, but is just a refactoring, so the code was in even earlier, just in a different place.
