Paste album art [#18180 #18940] - Un-Fixed again!

[Rob_S]

For lowlander, I have tried the drag and drop from web browser and it actually works into the properties window even in some cases where the paste is failing.

Great if the image is the correct size. Snipping tool is better if I want to adjust the size.

Seems fixed again in 2613.

Also, now there is a paste option in the left column of the main window as well.

Still not working right for me in today's 2613 update, same as in previous versions. Sometimes it works OK but more often if I try to drag or paste art (from any site in Chrome browser) into the Artwork tab of Properties it won't work. But if I first try to drag and *then* try to paste afterwards then it usually works OK. Something about trying to drag before I paste makes it work OK.

Chrome browser is problematic for dragging images (because it sometimes does not drag the image, but the link to the page with image). Workaround is use "copy image" in context menu in Chrome and the Paste, this should work always. Does it work for you too?

No, copying via right click from chrome and then paste from Mediamonkey's right click menu hardly ever works first time and the option is almost always greyed out.

What I usually have to do is to try and drag the image from chrome first (although that never actually does anything) and then do a copy and paste afterwards. Unless I try to drag and drop the image first, the copy/paste function is always greyed out in Mediamonkey's context menu.

It's weird behaviour but something about trying to drag and drop the image into the dialogue box first seems to open up the 'paste' option in Mediamonkey's menu.

I don't think drag and drop has ever worked on its own from chrome. It just seems to make the copy/paste function work.

Strange, I tried it many times and for me copy & paste always works after the fix (testing with Chrome - copy image and paste to properties dialog - Artwork).

[tbm72]

I'll try it later when I'm home by using ctrl/v into the artwork properties box but I know that 'paste' from Mediamonkey's context menu is always greyed out in the artwork properties box unless I try to drag and drop first.

Please also don't forget to keep an eye out for the issue of losing the ability to paste artwork after a half hour or so of tagging etc.

I don't know how to submit a log for that, because takes so long to start happening.

I apologise for putting this in someone else's thread, I should have posted it separately

[Rob_S]

Thank you!

I should add that the symptom is that the option to paste is greyed out when this happens, in all artwork views ie list by album, preview, and properties.

There is no issue with the clipboard, because after MM restart, the same clip will paste again.

I could generate more or more specific logs, if you need some.
