Images in version 1.13.0

How images are handled in the last version is a disaster.

What looks like a new resize feature only give me the power to diminish the images until they disappear. And I can no longer resize them in editing mode, only the source mode allows it, but there the image is no longer visible, so I have to go back and forth…

Clicking on the image no longer brings me to the image, I have to right click and open it elsewhere.

I use to paste a lot of images of texts, OCR them and then delete the files. This routine and others are now a lot more complicated.

To my eyes it’s a significative friction added for obscure reasons.

Otherwise, thank you for the great job you’re doing! I do appreciate it a lot.

Addition. The “edit this block” button on the image doesn’t do anything or lead anywhere.

I am not sure I follow. Maybe some plugin is interfering. Try in the sandbox vault.

I had a theme interfering with the “edit this block” functionality. Was driving me crazy. Turning everything off still makes image editing (especially when they are small, <25 pixel images)). Thanks for the suggestion that it might be something interfering with the functionality.

Having no idea of how the normal implementation should look like, I have accused the developers too hastily! As for @happycatmachine, the culprit was not a plugin but my theme (Border). Thanks a lot!

So in the end it turns out that:

  1. I only had to update the theme
  2. The resize function is an important improvement (that reduces friction)
