What does it take to enable pasting images from the clipboard? #8

Closed linucksrox closed 2 years ago

linucksrox commented 2 years ago

One of the main drawbacks of the current version is that I can't paste images from the clipboard. This is a problem that has been solved in many other projects, but a lot of the systems out there today still don't allow pasting images directly from the clipboard. Do you know how much work it would be to implement this?

This code parses the HTML/CSS code and changes it on-the-fly. It isn't possible to implement such a feature by this approach, since the injected code isn't loaded in editor by Wiki.JS design.

Wiki.JS has a feedback site where users can ask for features and this feature has already been asked for (ability-to-paste-images-into-md-editor). As of this writing, it has 466 upvotes and is planned, so it might be a part of a future release (v3).

You can also join the Wiki.JS Slack channel and ask there if and when the feature will be introduced.

Thanks for the quick update! That makes sense that you can't use the injection approach for this purpose. I have already voted on that feature, but I'm just having a hard time waiting for version 3 I guess. I think this project is going to explode in popularity when that gets released.
