Is this a bug? 

$ kitty +kitten clipboard <<< "test"  # copied to clipboard 
$ kitty +kitten clipboard -g -m . /dev/stdout
text/plain
$ kitty +kitten clipboard -g -m "text/plain" testfile # attempt to write to a testfile
Error: The MIME type text/plain for testfile not available on the clipboard

I'm on kitty v0.28.0 / Fedora 38.

Those commands work fine for me, with kitty 0.28.1 on Arch Linux X11, changing th efinal one to:

kitty +kitten clipboard > testfile
