Hi,
I need a basic functionality to paste an image from the clipboard
and the image should be uploaded automatically.

When making drag and drop, that already works very good,
but not when I paste from the clipboard.

As it works now when paste an image that a placeholder will be inserted is useless to me.
I could also press the 'Insert image'-button.

Thank You very much for this great content editor,

Hi Ryan,
I do not use MS-Word at all. I tried it with JPEG and PNG as originals.
What I tried was copying a picture into the clipboard and then pasting, but always the behaviour that I described.
I use OSX10.15.7 (tried Safari-, Chrome- and Firefox-Browser) and have the screenshot program "screenfloat", "monosnap" (I tried jpeg and png to put into the clipboard).
I copied into the clipboard from several sources but always the same.
I switched the "Process images for upload" flag to ON or OFF but always the same behaviour.
I put the "Upload Filesize" to 10.000 KB.
I have only the DEFAULT-Profile of JCE active.

I thought, that pasting from the clipboard already worked and I was sure that I already used that functionality…

With best regards,
Frederic

Hi Ryan,
thank You for Your answer.
Because drag and drop is working very good, and if I have an image file,
I think that there is no need for making the clipboard-paste-option FOR THAT.

But there are also different use cases, where this functionality is worth and needed.
First of all that this function is in every software
and it is hard to understand for someone with less technology knowledge about html
that this function is not there.

Now to me.
I work a lot with formulas for math witch I have to paste into the text.
Right now I make the formulas with my iPad
and because the iPad Clipboard is connected with my Mac-Clipboard
and i use JCE on my Mac it would be great if I could just paste the images from the clipboard into JCE.

And I know a lot of people doing this (using the iPad clipboard) but they paste into Pages or MS-Word.

I found out a WORKAROUND for this problem.

After I transferred an image into the clipboard I can not paste it into JCE directly.

BUT I can make a shortcut to my screenshotsoftware "monosanap"
to the command "make a new screenshot out of the clipboard"
than a window appears with the clipboardcontent as a screenshot in Monosnap
and than there is a symbol for drag and drop
and I can use that to get the image into JCE, works!

But I still would like a direct paste-function with automatic upload, the filename could be random in those cases.
