Also note that Cut and Paste make no sense here as menu items. I assume that these are just the default context menu options from - perhaps these should be removed entirely from the preview extension and we could manually implement copy?
Hey I would like to work on this issue.
assign this to me
Are these the correct steps to reproduce the issue? I'm unable to verify it on my mac. Can you provide more information? I previewed the image and then copied and pasted it. <img width="950" alt="image" src="https://user-"
I would like to wokr on this issue.
I would like to try solving this issue.
You right-click an image and select "copy", then you click a folder in VSCode's explorer and select "paste". The image should be pasted into that folder but it doesn't.
I would like to work on this issuse. here, I tried to copy and paste (Ctrl+v) it. But it doesn't work. https://user-
After a day of researching, I think I can explain why this issue happens. Basically in the core webview module (see ), three default context menu actions (cut, copy and paste) are to the menu, which are accessible throughout all webviews, and happens to be one of them, so after you right-click anywhere in a image previewer, you will be able to see these three actions. After you clicks one of these actions, the editor will post an message to the image previewer, telling it to cut, copy or paste. If there is a correspondent listener for this perpose, the image will be actually cut, copied, pasted, but unfortunately there is no such listeners defined. This problem has existed for quite a bit of time. The original modification that cause this problem is from here . It is origianlly meant to allow users to copy selected text within an extension's README page. There is also a closed issue that describe such issue in . Personally I think providing action cut, copy and paste for all webviews is a little bit hasty, since there are not universally required for each webview, and even some of them need, the subject to be copied may vary from different webviews, or even different places in a same webview. I can solve it by disabling the default actions first (there is a option to achieve this), then let image previewer to implement its own copy and cut functionality, but I think this is rather a quick and sloppy solution. There should be another better way to solve this issue.
What about adding a handler :
Here's what I tried VSC insiders without any extensions Open a folder with a .png file Open the png file in vscode Right click and select Paste into folder in vscode = does not work Paste into markdown cell in vscode = does not work What am i doing wrong?
Pasting image data into folders isn't supported by VS Code. Pasting into a notebook cells works fine for me though. To verify though you can also paste into an external image editor
