The function ye_olde_filetype doesn't work.
But your explication is correct.
So I write :

set the fileType to "8BIMJPEG" BEFORE copying the image and it works fine.

The problem comes from the fact that your funciton doesn't return a filetype.
it only returns empty !

So if you can ameliorate your function, it will be possible to copy 
justŠanythingŠ
