Take these two images: https://cdn.traileraddict.com/content/universal-pictures/get-out-2017-3.jpg and https://d2nebe8lbbiml.cloudfront.net/content/photos/10907/281288_074.jpg
(Note they cannot be embedded in the post, or the problematic behaviour will not occur)
They’re both direct links to jpgs, and the browser renders them in the same fashion. However, if I try to drag the images from the browser to somewhere else, different things happen.
If I drag them to the Desktop: nothing happens with the first one; the second one gets saved (as expected). If I drag them to another app (like Messages): the first one gets converted to its URL; the second one is appended (as expected).
This happens to me on Google Chrome on macOS (Sierra, but I’m fairly confident it happened in earlier versions as well) but not on Safari on that same system.
Why the different behaviour?
Thank you. It’s nonsensical that Safari handles this correctly while Google is crippling this behaviour on their own file format, but so it is. – user137369 – 2017-05-22T11:32:19.483
