Paste Image From Clipboard (self.syncforlemmy)

Is there any particular reason why pasting an image from clipboard works in some places, but not others? I have not been able to determine what prevents it from working? Is this an issue with Sync? It doesn't seem to depend on the Lemmy instance.

It seems the images that are successful are all PNG files. I can

This issue also seems to be related to the Clipboard API. My thinking behind this is that I cannot use this example page for jpeg/jpg images, but it works fine for PNG.

I have learned that if I use an app to take a jpg file that I cannot paste and convert it to PNG, then it works.

I use Image Toolbox for converting without saving an image.
