The image went to full screen view automatically and looked good when viewed at 100%. I then needed to hit the back button to return to the post but this could be normal as I haven't had a look from the computer as yet. :-\ --- End quote --- Yes, seem you have to hit the back button, it's not a popup. --- End quote --- That's super annoying, having thumbnails behave completely differently depending on where they are in a post. :( |

Multiple inline attachment test |

--- Quote from: EEVblog on July 09, 2019, 04:32:06 am ---Installed and testing a CTRL-V image (Nope, didn't work) Testing drag'n'drop: Worked!, draged direct from my Sreenpresso window, NICE! :-+ And doesn't muck up the previously installed inline extras --- End quote --- FYI, there's a substantial "gotcha" with them combined when using multiple attachments: the inline plugin doesn't know about the advanced attachments. So if you use advanced attachments to add multiple attachments (identifiable by the images being uploaded in real-time, adding a thumbnail immediately) instead of clicking the "more attachments" link to add another file chooser), the inline plugin doesn't know this, and sees only the first one. In the test above, the hare with rifle and Perry the Platypus were uploaded (in that order) using the advanced attachments upload, having selected "inline thumbnail". It only inserts one insert tag (with attachment ID 1), not two. The fox with binoculars was uploaded using "more attachments" to add another file chooser, and it correctly incremented another insert tag (with ID 2). Expected/desired behavior would have been for the hare to have ID 1, Perry to have ID 2, the fox to have ID 3, with an inline thumbnail of all three. Instead, the fox got ID 1 and an inline thumbnail, Perry got ID 3 but no inline thumbnail, and the hare got ID 2 and an inline thumbnail. Additionally, the advanced attachments plugin ONLY applies to the first file chooser. Any additional ones added by the "more attachments" link retain strictly the old 1 chooser == 1 file behavior, where selecting another file replaces the previously selected one. None of this is a deal-breaker (they're still useful plugins), just something to be aware of when doing complex posts with multiple inline attachments. In that case, it's probably best to attach them as traditional attachments and then go back and edit to insert them. But using advanced attachments for multiple "traditional" attachments works great. |

However, for the MOST part, such info can be of transient interest at the time, for visual interest. If someone considers the text/images within a particular Post to be of such Importance, then like myself, I would have SAVED such info, for later perusal/use. ?? --- End quote --- Yes, but sometimes the user left the forum and the images are forever gone. And I am not talking about the "joke" images or other General Chat section discussions, but I have bumped into several timeless teardowns and other very interesting bits that are gonski forever. I had two or three teardowns and interesting posts hosted on Imageshack which I ended up reuploading the images to the EEVBlog. I also warned other users on occasion that their excellent teardowns and posts were lost due to external hosting images - some of them responded positively and did the work at their own personal expense. Overall, IMO hosting on EEV enriches the forum to an untangible level - we can't predict the future. |

There have been more than a few examples of images becoming unavailable on external services. It's definitely not a small or theoretical situation. |
