@TGMCians I'm seeing the same message. Any idea where's the problem?

TGMCians

oh I'm sure you are kidding :)

Jan Dvorak

I am seeing the same message.

TGMCians

because you did your work

Jan Dvorak

I want to more, though

TGMCians

5:14 PM

oh then come back in x hours to continue

Jan Dvorak

it's amazing to see the tons of link-only answers that our past brings us

TGMCians

yup

Jan Dvorak

No audit for today, yet.

TGMCians

Q: add support for pasting images

I was very happy to learn that you had added support for directly uploading images to imgur. However, I would like to see this taken one step further, if it is even possible. Today, if I want to upload a screen shot (and let's face it, this is probably the most likely case in the computing-rela...

This deserves some upvotes! (and possibly downvotes on the outdated answers)

@ThiefMaster Errr... that already exists. All that post needs is an answer and a [status-completed]

ThiefMaster

It does? :o Then it's undocumented!

Anna Lear

it was implemented a few months back

ThiefMaster

Doesn't work for me. At least not in Firefox.

3ventic

Pasting is already possible, but you need to open the "add image" popup from the editor or by pressing CTRL+G. Just as I posted the comment, status-completed.. — 3ventic 1 min ago

Anna Lear

@ThiefMaster I refunded your bounty :)

ThiefMaster

5:55 PM

Thanks!

Anyway, I tried exactly this. Nothing happens. Neither in chrome nor firefox

Anna Lear

Hrm. It's working fine here - the screenshot in my answer was pasted in.

3ventic

It doesn't work in firefox for me either

Chrome works

Bart

Anna Lear

Post a bug report?

I know firefox is a bitch when it comes to pasting images from websites copied using "copy image data" (since for some stupid reason firefox copies URL along the image data which causes the paste then fails due to cross-origin restrictions in the contenteditable hack needed in firefox). But images not attached to an actual URL should work in Firefox, too.

Bart

Don't waste your votes. That will go by itself @LaszloPapp

ThiefMaster

So.. I'll post a bug report later

3ventic

Laszlo Papp

@Bart: I have nothing better to spend on.

3ventic

It doesn't actually say pasting is supported when using firefox ^

Anna Lear

5:58 PM

@3ventic huh. I didn't know that

3ventic

so it's actually..

status-somewhat-completed

ThiefMaster

Umm, i'm not talking about drag an drop. I'm talking about actual CTRL+V pasting

3ventic

Yeah, me too

It says "or paste" in Chrome, but not in Firefox

ThiefMaster

Hm, for me in chrome the paste message is missing, too :o

3ventic

and I can paste with CTRL+V in Chrome, but not in Firefox

Anna Lear

5:59 PM

@ThiefMaster What version of Chrome on what OS?

ThiefMaster

Windows 7 / 35.0.1916.99

3ventic

Windows 8.1 / 34.0.1847.131 m

Anna Lear

status-close-enough

3ventic

hah

Anna Lear

@ThiefMaster Which version of Windows?

ThiefMaster

6:01 PM

Disabling adblock didn't change anything

Anna Lear

That's a beta version of Chrome

ThiefMaster

true, but it's somewhat unlikely that they broke anything related to it

Anna Lear

Mind you, I've no idea what would be different about it or how our pasting code works...

@oded hey, you worked on the paste/drag-and-drop in the image uploader, right? is it supposed to work in Firefox?

TGMCians

@AnnaLear It's not working for me also in Chrome

3ventic

@TGMCians version, OS

Q: Why am I still banned?

Can you explain why I'm still banned? Is this definitive or could the ban be lifted in future? I've read the Help Center articles and this FAQ entry. It says I need to improve my questions, but unfortunately all my questions were very simple typographical errors. I understand that Stack Overflo...

support

Once you get post-banned, it's like a black hole.

Louis

@AmalMurali Your avatar at small size looks to me like a pet wearing a Stormtrooper helmet. For a while, I thought that's what it was until I clicked on your avatar to get a closer look.

Bart

Wait ... who is this fresh-faced individual entering the Tavern is sophisticated black and white?

Oded

@AnnaLear I worked on it. It uses feature detection - and the text tells you what the browser supports. IIRC, copy/paste is not supported in FF, but drag-n-drop is. Don't have FF handy to see what it says.

@3ventic ^^^

Anna Lear

@ThiefMaster ^^^

Bart

@everybody ^^^

Oded

6:27 PM

@Bart ^^^

Bart

Ah thanks @Oded. Would have missed it.

Oded

Good thing we have ping in chat, eh?

Bart

Whoever developed that is a geneu..giniou...geene... smart

GnomeSlice

vvv

rene

wat?

ThiefMaster

6:44 PM

@Oded Strange... then it should work in chrome

I guess image pasting in Firefox is still a huge pain?

Oded

@ThiefMaster is should. If you see the words on the popup, that should work. As for pasting in FF - need to support the paste events (IIRC, been a while since I touched that code)

Amal Murali

@Louis haha

ThiefMaster

The words didn't show up either

Amal Murali

Lazy to read scrollback. What is the issue you guys are talking about, if I can ask? :O

Oded

Yeah - again, feature detection. If the browser doesn't support the events/object model, the words won't show up.

ThiefMaster

6:49 PM

I remember a few months ago Firefox required an invisible div set to contenteditable. And when you pasted something copied from a website (even when using "copy image" instead of "copy image location") it pasted an <img> tag with the actual image URL instead of the base64 image data, making it subject to the same origin policy...

Oded

@AmalMurali Image upload - copy/paste and drag-n-drop are supported, so long as the browser has the right support.

ThiefMaster

Which is incredibly retarded...

Oded

@ThiefMaster exactly. It was a real pain to try and support, given that there is some standardization in that space (it all works in Opera, fer instance)

Amal Murali

Neither works for me. (Google Chrome 32.0.1700.102 / Ubuntu 13.10)

The upload dialog says "(or paste or drag-and-drop)".

TGMCians

same for me

ThiefMaster

6:54 PM

@Oded: Do you have the link to the unminified JS? I could have a look what exactly fails in Chrome for me (maybe it's caused by some extension) but I'm too lazy to dig out the link ;)

Oded

@ThiefMaster not on a computer where I can get such a link easily :/

ThiefMaster

what's chess.js by the way? :D

Oded

Ha. A chess game for chess.se - not sure it is even working anymore.

Amal Murali

rev 2014.5.8.2228 — Is this the most latest revision?

Oded

By definition, it is, @Amal ;)

Amal Murali

6:59 PM

:-P Then I have no idea why it doesn't work on mine.

Bart

You're sure you're not keeping the good revisions to yourself @Oded?

Amal Murali

Probably because my Chrome's not the latest version. But dunno.

Oded

@Bart my precesssiosss revissssionssss

Amal Murali

@Oded has grown too old for this stuff. Look at his profile picture. All black and white. TOO OLD :-P

Oded

Oh. I thought that was just on my monitor.

Bart

7:02 PM

That's not old @AmalMurali, that's sophisticated.

Oded

Listen to the pair of glasses hanging in the air. They know what they speak of.

Bart

These glasses have seen things

Q: Can we implement a replayer for chess analysis on the site?

I think that a javascript game replayer would be interesting and useful. For a brief list of requirements - something that can display several variations and move comments as well as be fairly easily edited (at least for minor edits). UPDATE: This has now been implemented!

discussion feature-request status-completed

Bart

Say @ShadowWizard, you said that users shouldn't be suspended for their Meta contributions, right? ....

ThiefMaster

@Oded: window.Clipboard === undefined - that breaks the feature detection

Oded

7:07 PM

@ThiefMaster on Chrome?

ThiefMaster

yes

Oded

What OS are you on?

ThiefMaster

win7, chrome 35 beta

> Clipboard was renamed to DataTransfer in the WebKit source, which was merged into Blink/chromuim/Chrome:
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?view=revision&revision=168494

Oded

Oh, those words... "beta"... ;)

Amal Murali

So many SE sites, so little time...

Oded

7:09 PM

beta === [status-declined]

ThiefMaster

So I guess you'll have to check for either (window.Clipboard || window.DataTransfer) once 35 hits stable - it seems like something that'll end up in the non-beta v35

Oded

But will look into it tomorrow.

Bart

Say @AnnaLear, if users (purely hypothetically cough) start to troll a Meta to an extent that would normally see them banned if they tried on the main site, is there anything that can be done about that?

Anna Lear

@Bart They get suspended on the main site and if they complain, well, tough.

Bart

Okay. So nothing without an effect on their main site participation as well?

Oded

7:11 PM

Correct, @Bart. That's normal child-meta behavior.

Bart

Okay thank you both. Getting used to this new-fangled child-Meta stuff
