Description

Browser: Vivaldi | 5.3.2679.68 (Stable channel) (x86_64)

Test server: https://hochstenbach.solidcommunity.net:8443

In the slideshow menu I can drop a new image file. I get a Javascript message that says "Are you sure you want drop this file here". When I click OK the image file gets opened in a new tab (with URL file:///Users/patrickhochstenbach/Desktop/Images/optimism.jpeg) but nothing changes on the pod.

I would expect:

  • If there is nothing that can be uploaded, then the pod shouldn't tell me something can be uploaded.
  • If there is something that can be uploaded, then the pod should accept the upload and present it.

Research direction

Reproduce the problem from the slideshow menu in Vivaldi using the provided test server and a local image file. Trace the slideshow drag-and-drop entry point and verify that dropping an image either uploads and presents it on the pod or does not claim that uploading is available.
