When posting with an image, I sometimes go to Google Image search, right click the preview and I will have an URL like this:
http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS83dIO5nAqpHPq8alzP-wZ8mbulVPXL86I_dcL3llYXE_XWlZgNw

Then I paste the URL into the Windows file selection dialogue, press Open and Quickreply says "Unsupported file type" even though it is a valid JPEG or PNG file. I will have to properly save the file first before I can use it with QR.

This only happened to me for Google Image search results, with URLs like the above. Not all Google URLs are affected. Directly linking to .jpg or .png URLs seems to always work.
