Images not being pasted correctly

[styllig]

Hi,

I have been in touch with the support guys at Kendo. The issue is that when copying a pasting an image from Outlook, images are not pasted. For some reason, the editor uses the file path to the image instead of the base64 string (see below image)

They suggested getting in touch to see if there is a work around for this?

Thanks!

George

Can you show me the HTML or files that are on the clipboard when such a paste happens? Does it use the data URL when you paste into a plain contentEditable element?

Hi,

I have attached a sample e-mail that is causing the issue.

One of our users highlights the table, right clicks, copy & then pastes.

Thanks!

George

By "attached a sample e-mail" do you mean that bit of text you pasted below your reply? I don't think that is going to help reproduce this.

Hi,

No, I attached an .msg file to the reply. I have attached it again.

This is a github issue. If you are replying via email, your attachments are not visible to others in the actual issue (https://github.com/ProseMirror/prosemirror/issues/1382)

That is not a file format I can open, sorry.

[styllig]

You can't open the msg?

I have created a HTML file.

Hope this works for you.

That has an image pointing to "Example_files/image001.jpg". If the HTML pasted into ProseMirror has the images like that, there is no way at all for ProseMirror to convert them to data: URLs.

May I just comment here, sorry if its intrusive.

@styllig I think what is meant here is this: The email client has the image file on the hard drive of your user's machine. ProseMirror is running on the web. If your user wants to paste the image into a ProseMirror content, they have to upload it to dropbox or something, and get a link to the image from there
