Copy to PNG feture not working with live photos

Open ssoRL opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Description

I've tried this on Fedora Linux and Mac, and in each case is seems like clicking on the "Copy as PNG" does nothing. When I click it and then try to paste into libre impress, it just pastes the last text from my clipboard. On Mac OS it's the same: pasting doesn't work, and when I check the contents of my clipboard in the finder the image isn't there.

Version

1.7.4

What product are you using?

Ente Photos

I can't reproduce this on macOS

  • Open an image, and let it load
  • Press the "Copy as PNG" button
  • Open the Preview app, and press Cmd-N to create a new file with the copied image.

(Linux might be a separate issue. Even on macOS there might be an issue, I'm just mentioning I wasn't able to reproduce it on my machine)

OK, just took another look, and it seems like this is a problem specifically for live photos (heic). I can copy other photos (jpg) just fine. When I try with the live photos though, there's a thin green loading bar that appears at the top of the photo but never quite makes it to the end. Looks like this is a problem on the web version of ente photos too fwiw.

Fixed by https://github.com/ente-io/ente/pull/5249. Changes deployed to web, and will be part of the next desktop app release (1.7.11).
