An undesired change in the "Add an Image" feature
-
Another odd thing has happened and I don’t know whether it is a WordPress thing or a Chateau thing.
First, I click the “Add an image” icon and it takes me to the browsing feature, “Select Files.”
Now, when I click on the file that I want uploaded to the post, whereas the file would show up visually in the Preview column, it no longer does. Only text is there.It used to be much better when the file could be seen and identified visually. Now I have to actually click on the Open button to see what that file is, and often it is the wrong file and I have to go through the whole process gain.
To get around this I move things around my Desktop so that I can find the file and read its caption, but that takes time.
Is this a glitch in the Chateau theme or is it a new WordPress thing? Either way, it is not good for me.
Again: This was not always the case with Chateau. It is only recent.-Peregrine

Or, more shortly stated, The PREVIEW column does not show the picture of what that file is. It shows only text.

Whether the file thumbnail shows or not is dependent on the OS and the browser. The window that appears where you choose the image is generated by the browser and your particular operating system, NOT by wordpress.

I still see the image previews when I upload a file in my Mac in both Safari and Firefox.

OK, but I have always been using Safari and only lately has this begun to happen.
It might be that Safari is having a glitch.-Peregrine

Sacred Path, I just now sent you an important letter to you from within your blog. Please, could you go and read it? It is important to me.

I just now found the solution to the problem I described at the top of this thread. Here it is:
The usual chain of events: Click the picture link in the New Post page > Click Select Files > Within the browser, select the file that you *think* is the one you want. Once it is selected, a new column opens up with some file info. If you click “More Info,” a new window with more info will open up. Included in that window will be the picture that is in that file. If that is the picture file you want, then click Open. If not, you can go back to browse for your picture file without having to close out the window and re-start the procedure (which is what I have been doing)
(Of course the solution is to check the title of your desiree file, but since that column with the file info always — until now — had the picture, I never bothered checking out that title.)
