When an image is inserted here using clipboard, it appears in the editor, but it does not appear in

Question

when an image is inserted here in forum po editor using clipboard, it appears in the editor, but it does not appear in the post. When the image is inserted from a file, it works

Answer 1

Im not completely sure, why you are pointing out the very same thing I'm pointing out too. If you re-read my original post thoroughly, you will find - at its very end - the sentence "When the image is inserted from a file, it works". Since I'm not aware of the way how to insert the image from a file in a procedure other, then clicking the "camera" icon, I hold such a sentence for more then enough to point out, that the camera icon works fine for me (if you re-read my post thoroughly and pay detailed attention of my expression "using clipboard", then you shall definitely evaluate this expression as covering both ways an image can reach the cliboard, eg. Copying from a graphical editor/processor or dragging&dropping a graphical file).
However more then this, your post does in fact NOT reply to the fact, why the WYSIWYG editor box allows the insertion of an image from clipboard, but then fails to upload it and thus it is not displayed in the post.
For the sake of completness, I must also point out, that your last sentence of your post "And that's what it is there for" does not bring much clarity about that thing - while I fully understand, as one can observe from my "When the image...it works" sentence, the functionality, purpose and propper handling of the "camera" icon, I cannot agree with such a behaviour of the editor, that allows an operation to be done (What You See) that does not affect the outcoming result (Is What You Get).
From the theory of designing (G)UIs one may learn, that in such a case the operation should either fulfill completly (eg. display the clipboard-inserted image in the resulting post) or fail completly in the beginning (when Pasting the image into the text), either silently (just not displaying the image in the editor field) or with an error warning such as "Insertion of images/bitmaps from clipboard is not permitted". For Windows-like environments (such as, but not limited to, Microsoft Explorer, KDE, Gnome, IceWm....) the change of the dragging cursor to display a kind of "No way" or "no entry" pictogram, is also advisable.
For the sake of completness of my reaction I also might percieve your last sentence as a kind of irony or sarcasm, which however I definitely do not find appropriate behaviour, more over I might call it an "arogant rudeness" in case of such a "VIP" member with more then 9000 posts in the time when this post is being written, with a hint of overworking, malicous intends, inattention, ego-centricism or any other personal failure(s) or a combination of them, that you should - in case they are present - definitely pay attention to in your private life.
Moreover, let me please point out, that Im not much pleased about the way this forum works with its users, since I find the bug I have discovered, only a small one (a category B one might say in the A-B-C scheme, eg. a category, that does not directly influence or prohibit the execution of the main business cases, however it may result in discomfort, data loss or operation repetition, such a category would be most possibly a category C in the A-B-C-D scheme). Therefore I must explicitly express my annoyance that you have the guts to handle the post I did like this, when - in my opinion - the post has been written in such a manner that it was merly a polite point out of a small bug, thus it was kept as brief as possible, but fully covering the description of the scenario, alternate scenarios and their outcomes. Moreover, I'm definitely displeased, that you allow yourself to post such a post, that - instead of exploring the matter - throws the whole matter on the head and inside-out, or, one may say, kicks the bucket, and forces the original author, in this case me, for re-accounting for himself, moreover the ambivalency of your post opens such many possibilities to account for, that the time and resources the self-accounting autor has to spent, heavily overweighting the importance, significance and impact of the bug itslef.
So let me please advise you for the next time:
- to explore posts with more thoroughness, evaluating their expressions and sentences much more deeply, rather then just glance through on their surface
- think twice before answering and try to figure out how such answer might be percieved
- try to do less posts, but with higher quality
- try to employ more politeness and correct behaviour
- approach the matter with more humble and curious attitude rather then with a "I-know-everyting-better" standpoint
