Why will a snippet not insert the picture

[kerrydawson]

I have a snippet that is supposed to insert a picture in the clipboard. It just won't. I might use the syntax - Hi there look at this {clipboard}. I can't see what's wrong with this.

Nothing's wrong with your snippet; Alfred just doesn't store/use images from the clipboard. If you used this snippet after copying text to the clipboard, it would work perfectly.

 

Saving images in Alfred's database would increase memory usage.

 

Perhaps you should submit a feature request; this idea has been pretty popular, but I don't see any formal requests.

Yes. Its a nuisance to have to put these pictures up on your server where they are useless after one go and time-consuming.

 

We’re supposed to learn from each other as there isn’t a manual and something as simple as this which is a learning tool isn’t available and does everyone have there own website?

Tyler,

 

I see what you’re saying now. You’re talking about the snippet. So it won’t handle pictures. OK. That explains it.
