oh you want to copy an image out of a google doc? simple! just right click, then go down to view more actions, click "Save to Keep," open Keep in a new tab..
oh i see it, then i just right click to copy it from this mosaic?
no lol unless you want a blurry image. just wait ~30-45 seconds for the image to show up in keep, then click to expand it, then right click to copy!
Users are frustrated that Google Docs forces a cumbersome multi-step workaround to copy images, finding the UX needlessly poor and baffling, while some praised helpful third-party tool suggestions.

@packyM I see you, Packy, I really see you
@packyM If you publish it to a webpage you can right click as expected. It’s an option in the share menu.

^ do the team a solid and pay for it too. best ROI i've had on an app just making things 10000x more seamless
@zebriez 👁️
@packyM It's such an easy thing to fix too, which makes it so frustrating 😂
@packyM i just screenshot it
@packyM @killedbygoogle If you download as a @Microsoft @Office Word `.docx` file, then you can unarchive it and find the images, AFIK.
@packyM inspect element usually works much faster ime
@packyM Never understood why this is such a challenge. Word has always had the same issue.
@packyM adding it to the image clipboard would give my ancestors a heart attack
@packyM Bro save as webpage. Get in these CMS trenches
@packyM This kind of UX hell makes me wonder. Was it always this bad? Have I just gotten old? Was it only easy for me when I was kid because I was young and obsessed and a sponge with a knack for figuring it out?
Nah. These interfaces are just objectively awful.
@jamesmurray @packyM a screenshot is not the same as extracting the original full res embedded image
@EmmettArmstrong @packyM Good tip, thanks for sharing!
@packyM 14 steps to move one image and every step is load-bearing. someone at google shipped this, watched it in the wild, and thought 'yep, that's the one'
