Imgur dragging and dropping images for upload

Unread post by OmegaPhil » 2015-09-08, 16:16

I just noticed that I can drag and drop an image from my filemanager (SpaceFM) into a Firefox window to upload to imgur (https://imgur.com, click Upload Images, drag'n'drop to the page) but I can't do the same with Pale Moon (i.e. the drag UI disappears and a file is not added as pending to upload). The addons, configurations etc will be almost the same as I migrated to PM recently - does anyone else have this problem?

Can confirm - for me, the files get added to the list of files currently being uploaded, but I never get a progress bar, so I don't think they're actually being sent. Unfortunately, I'm doing this on my lunch hour at work and don't have time to investigate further right now.

Thats better than what I get, doesn't register at all here. You need to press another button after queuing things up to send (just incase you thought it was automatic).

Thanks for testing, I can still browse to the actual files with the browse dialog at least.

Imgur works perfectly with every kind of upload (copy image data to clipboard and paste it using Ctrl + V, a normal file upload, and drag and drop). You might want to check with a new profile to see if it's one of your addons, or a general configuration problem.

OK, will do if I start to get annoyed by it (not something I want to make a project out of atm).

@OmegaPhil It is your file manager which inhibits you from dragging, and dropping files. Use a different one if it is an immediate problem, or wait till a new release is pushed (a fix is already merged upstream).

For reference I'm a SpaceFM programmer - if thats the upstream you're referring to - I did resolve a bug on drag'n'drop recently as Firefox worked (sounded like Firefox didn't implement the necessary functionality, that was then eventually done, this was a while back so I'm not assuming its relevant to Pale Moon now?).

Oh, neat! However I am not referring to the SpaceFM upstream sorry for the confusion. I am referring to the Pale Moon upstream. Pale Moon has an issue where dragging, and dropping from sources using the MIME type 'text/uri-list' was impossible, however now that fixed in the upstream.

Good news, thanks (sounds the same as the Firefox issue from a while back then).
