Comment Comment by kstenerud I've actually never tried it before. I just ran some tests now on a mac:If I copy a file in Finder and paste it into a claude session, it shows in the TUI as [Image #1].If I do the same, but paste into a claude session running over SSH, it pastes the path to the file, not the data.If I open the image in Preview, copy the pixels (CMD-A, CMD-C), pasting that into a terminal does nothing.So it looks like CC just puts UI sugar over top of the image path when it has file access to it? That's not really image pasting, though... parent kstenerud 5 months ago
