Ability to paste images into MD editor

planned

王西迪

Images should be pasteable via clipboard ctrl+V as a shortcut, similar to how Github's MD editor works. This would be a gigantic time saver.

Fantastic software wiki.js - but users really needs the paste picture/image. The process of creating the image, save as file, upload, insert - kills creativity... pls. prioritize.

I try to deploy Wiki.js for documentation purposes in our company. I did a pilot but everyone complains about missing ctrl+v support for images. Please implement this features.

Alexandre De Carli

As a contribution, when pasting an image, the upload could go to the same folder structure as the current page to avoid security issues...

This will help us a lot, that's what keeping us from using Wiki.js company wide.

Joseph Magaletti

Not a great “solution”, but if you type up the documentation in Word with all the pictures and information necessary then copy and paste it into the visual editor, it works. It’s strange and I hate it. But hopefully this helps bridge the gap for some until it is corrected properly.

Joseph Magaletti: sorry I am using linux

Joseph Magaletti: I tried this solution but not work for me. Do you install the shrap and pandoc extensions?

Geri Geloczi

Joseph Magaletti: Thanks a lot for this work-around! Works for me with OnlyOffice on Linux. I just copy-paste the picture into an empty OnlyOffice document, then Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and then switch to WikiJS (Visual Editor) and Ctrl+V.
I haven't installed any plugins yet, so this should work for everyone. 
As I see, this work-around forces the editor to use an image with a base64 encoded data (for ex: data:image/png;base64). This is the key here!

Joseph Magaletti: This is how I am work around this also. Open a new Word document, hit spacebar to insert a space then paste in the image, then Ctrl-A Ctrl-C to copy the mixed content into the clipboard.

Now I can Ctrl-V in the wiki.js visual editor to paste in the mixed content which includes the image.

Mark Lovell: I have tried with LibreOffice write under Linux and it does not work.

This is a compaint I keep getting from my users.

Any evolution on this ?

Mar Co

This would be great!

Hello, a possibility to paste (Ctrl + V) pictures would be a great point for us as well.

Another +1 here. You can actually paste the image and it appears in the editor very briefly so there's clearly some handles for it. Ideally in settings you'd be able to specify a folder (or it's just fixed at /paste/xxx.png) and they automatically upload there. I assume it's not possible to access any name/info about the image on paste so will just need to be saved as a guid? That's fine, but maybe another future idea would be a more visual asset browser so you can dig out old images.

This is one feature which I would like and is one issue stopping me from deploying it, any updates on if it likely to be deployed for 2.5? if not do you know when 3 will be released?

Also thanks for your hard work on this :)
