uppy: Can't paste a snipped image
Hi,
We are currently implementing your library in our application and we noticed that it was possible to copy/paste an image from Windows snipping tool to the browser, except IE 11.
Is it a bug or is something not supported by uppy/ie and is there a fix, a workaround or a plan to support it?
How to reproduce
- Snip an image using Windows snipped tool
- Paste it on the uppy component
Expected behaviour
The snipped image is accepted by the component.
Additional information
It was tested based the examples provided on your website and in a create-react-app example.
| Environment | Version |
|---|---|
| Windows | 10 |
| Browser | IE 11.523.17134.0 |

Not unless you trigger the paste event on the Dashboard element — there’s no public API for it. But it’s under consideration.
@arturi good point - an option so it’s not default makes sense to me.
A use case I’m currently solving for that brought me here yesterday is pasting into a normal textarea with markdown capability. Since we use Uppy, ideally we trigger Uppys paste upload capability, but I haven’t gotten far yet on how to trigger that without the drop zone visible. Any thoughts whether this is remotely possible? (Think GitHub issues and how you can paste screenshots right here.)
Thanks!
