Unfortunately, it is a known issue for a UI framework we are using ([Known][Waiting] Drag and Drop files doesn't work on Linux · Issue #6085 · AvaloniaUI/Avalonia · GitHub)

Either we have to wait for Avalonia to solve it, or build our own implementation for drag drop/clipboard. At the moment we don’t have the workforce to do the latter.

that’s sad to hear, hope that pixieditor grows bigger so you guys can have the resources.

in the meantime, my current work around it just to open file then it adds a new workspace and then i copy and paste it in the main workspace. It’s tedious but it’s better than using on krita’s text tool lmao

maybe an “insert image” tab can be the current solution

anyway best of luck to the team

Hm, so you are able to paste the image into the new workspace, but not to your main directly?

@flabbet I can copy and paste within the app itself but not from the pc’s clipboard

Ah I see, so adding the file via file picker. I suppose adding Insert Image is a good idea
