Google Photos media support #15

Closed anvc closed 9 years ago

anvc commented 9 years ago

Submitter: Christopher Schreck Email: cjschreck828@gmail.com I'm having trouble adding a photo from url provided by Google Photos/Google Drive into my Scalar book. I've made the photo public and obtained a sharable url for a photo that I took myself and saved to Google Drive, and the Scalar program seems to think it has found it, but nothing appears when I save the media page. I had no problem with another file that I got off of a different website, just my own photos from Google Drive. I'm using a 2014 Macbook Air with the most recent OS X Yosemite operating system, with the most recent version of Safari as my browser.

Suspect this is because Google Photos URLs don't point to actual files, and won't allow themselves to be embedded in an iframe.

If you right click on the image itself, open it in a new tab, then use that URL for importing, Scalar will display the unscaled image in an iframe.
