How to Post Pictures

I hope these steps will do the tricks for me.

It would be a real gem if CR4 could find a way for their software to support Safari instead of manually typing in all of the html formatting tags.

Hi Jaxy,

What about directly from your clipboard?

1. Press Ctrl+C when your mouse is hovering over a graphic file.
2. Place your cursor in the CR4 Message Editor and press Ctrl+V.

There's your image!

Just did it here with the Picture Insert Icon.

I didn't know you could do that. I tried doing that, but for some reason, your method isn't working correctly (they come up as broken images). What web browser are you using? I primarily use Firefox.

Hi Jaxy,

I'm using IE 8.0.

While I am not a real big fan of Microsoft, I find that I have fewer problems with IE than other browsers like Firefox. We have Firefox at work and it has been having issues lately - won't load websites sometimes, but most of the time will. I switched to IE (unbeknownst to our IT guys) and I have no problems.

This last weekend I installed Win 7 on a new 64-bit system I put together. Out of all the operating systems Microsoft has released, this is the best. I don't want this to be a MS endorsement, but I am extremely supprised and pleased.

that doesn't work for me. (or at least, it only works to copy images from the web.)

When I try to copy/paste images from my Windows Explorer, it does nothing.

any other thoughts?

To get graphic files into the CR4 editor, you have to go the green camera route.

I just tried several ways to get around this but to no avail. There must be something about a web environment that facilitates copying directly to the CR4 editor from an image copied to your clipboard.

There must be someone out there that knows why this is, but it's not me!

Cut 'n paste still works, though not with animations (most of the time). Codemeister is not keen on said method. Oddly. transferring stuff form within CR4 works. Not going to get into nefarious techniques for pasting pictures/animations. The fact that CR4 has stopped animated avatars should be a hint. boo-hoo. It's all just salad on the steak. Those interested might wirsh to search out some of ther excellent post by Spurky.

here's another sparkstation classic

Using the Mac I have to go to Firefox instead of Safari, which I normally use since I can go back and forth between my inbox and CR4. When I go to Firefox I have a toolbar, and can call up some of the computer stored, or digital camera photos, and post them to either CR4, or my email.

I don't post pictures very often so I'm not all that great with it.

Being able to take pics straight of your PC is one of CR4's great features...
Some sites and blogs only allow you to download pics from a photo hosting site.(E.G Photobucket) This is a pain and takes a load of fiddling about. On the otherhand if my PC goes belly up (as they are wont to do eventually ) I'll still have my pics rattling round in photo bucket... (hmmm, I wonder is it a real big galvanised bucket, or a modern plastic one... )

I presume it's a recyclable one to save the....

On the same topic and it is a question previously asked and discussed but I don't think it has yet been answered.

If you paste an animated gif from a website, it retains its animation (the first one below). If you save the same image from the website and insert the image from a PC folder using the camera icon it loses its animation in the CR4 post. (The second image below) The saved file still maintains the animation in the PC folder. Any guesses ?

of course we could have almost the same discussion about links
