Copying image from Evernote into Gmail doesn't work, but if I paste into Word and then Gmail it works. Explanation?

[Carlos Cadu 16]

Hi,

 

I recorded my screen (http://goo.gl/u3CKWF) showing I couldn't copy an image from Evernote and paste it into a Gmail e-mail body.

However, I did paste the same image from Evernote into Word, then I copied it and pasted into Gmail. It worked.

Is it possible to copy and paste and image direct from Evernote into Gmail?

 

Thanks,

 

Cadu

If this behavior is repeatable, then I'd suggest that you Submit a BUG report via an EN Support Ticket. In the Support Form, select "Report a bug", and start the Ticket Title with "BUG:  " to make it clear.  Reporting a bug should be available to all users, including Free Account owners.  Other Ticket types available to Free users are "Data Loss", "Crash", & "Sync Issue".

Thanks for info on submitting bugs.

Before submitting the bug, to double check I tried again to copy an image from Evernote and paste into Gmail. Id didn't work.

Do you know at least if it is possible to copy/paste an image into Gmail? Or it is an Evernote shortcoming?

Why don't you just test it for yourself?  Easy enough to do.

It's a Windows thing more than anything else - moving emails between Outlook and Evernote or -as in this case- pics from EN to Gmail often requires an extra step.  Copy/ paste a pic to your desktop and then drag into Gmail and it works fine.  Copy and paste direct just doesn't.  Other apps like Word also can provide the middle step.

Sounds like more of a Evernote thing than a Windows thing to me.

If you can copy/paste images from other apps into Gmail, but not from Evernote, then that means Evernote is NOT putting the image on the Clipboard properly.

 

I'd call this a bug.

I did test the copy/paste, but in my computer it didn't work. 

Thanks all for further clarification.

I just tested copy/paste of an image from EN Mac 6.0.6 to Gmail in Chrome, and it worked fine.

Sorry, I didn't have time to test with EN Win.
