suggetion, Enabling Swift Cross-Platform Media Transfer.
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Hi
One of the key benefits our project provides, as expressed by me and my peers, is the swift cross-platform transfer of text and files between two personal devices. The essence of this usage lies in the concept that "I trust myself with my files, and I desire the fastest possible transfer".
Currently, beyond text, the transfer of any file type requires the "upload" and "download" process. Let's consider a scenario where one wishes to transfer a picture from one device to another and embed it in a "Word" document. The process includes uploading the picture via a dialog box, downloading it on the target device through another dialog, saving it in a temporary folder, and finally, going back to the Word document to "insert" the picture through yet another dialog box. This can be time-consuming.
My proposition is to streamline this process by incorporating a "paste" feature for media on the source device, allowing pre-copied media like photos to be quickly transferred. Coupled with the recently added "auto-accept" feature on the target device, it would expedite the process significantly.
Moreover, enabling a "copy" feature directly from the thumbnail would be useful as the full picture data is already available in the memory.
A suitable comparison would be the ease of copying and pasting within a dialogue on WhatsApp Web between two devices.
Thanks
@internet-rimon You can actually use Ctrl+V anywhere on the page, if that's what you're asking for.
@internet-rimon Unfortunately, copying to clipboard is only available for image files (this is a limitation of the web clipboard APIs). I've enabled the copy to clipboard functionality for image files.
