Description sombragris 2023-04-24 18:52:20 UTC
SUMMARY
Please enable copying and pasting of image data between Tokodon and other desktop apps.

EXPLANATION
Thanks for developing Tokodon. I find it to be a great app and quite promising.

Now, I still find it hard to use it as my Mastodon daily driver because it still lacks some important features, and now I file a feature request for this one.

Please enable copying and pasting image data between Tokodon and desktop apps.

For example:
1. Pasting data into Tokodon: Let's say I see a picture in a web page that I like. In my browser, I could right-click on it, select "Copy Image", and I would like to be able to go to Tokodon and getting the image simply by pasting (Ctrl-V or similar action).

Note that right now I can do this in the usual Mastodon web client used by many instances worldwide.

2. Pasting image data from Tokodon into another app: Let's say I see a nice picture on Tokodon, I would like to right-click on it, select something like "Copy Image" and then being able to paste it into my browser, word processor, or similar app.

I would be very grateful if you could implement this. Thanks in advance!

This should be easy enough, we merged some technical changes recently where I can easily add a right-click > copy menu for images.

Will appear in the next release, there's now several ways to get image data from Tokodon now (including right-clicking images to copy.) Pasting into the composer is supported too!
