Drag and Drop images from Browser for Mood Boards in Designer


Recommended Posts

I just realized that I could use a canvas in Designer as a mood board, like PureRef.

Unfortunately, drag and drop from a browser drops the link as text only, at least from Edge.

May I suggest that the images are directly downloaded to the canvas instead, much like in PureRef?

The real advantage would be that such mood boards would be file based, locally available as well as usable across platforms (Windows, Mac, iPadOS) with cloud syncing.

What do You say?

And if that doesn't, right-click and then "View Image" and then copy or drag/drop may work.

Many sites will have a container for images and make it not possible to directly drag/drop from a webpage.

Sure. I just was positively surprised that PureRef was pulling out images of any website when using drag and drop. And Affinity is just dropping in text ;)
