When attempting to drag to copy an image from the internet to any program on my mac, it only copies the link and not the image. If I copy the image manually(right click copy/paste etc) it works properly, but up until a few days ago I could just drag and drop the image from my browser into keynote/powerpoint. How do I fix this?
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13
Unfortunately this happens with any image, and as I said, didn’t happen at all until about a week ago. It is across all sites and browsers, and appears to be a problem either with some settings somewhere, or with my laptop in general ☹️ Even if I open another window where it is standalone, it still copies a link to the image on its own.
This happens when the image you see is not a stand alone image, it is a link object and can't be copied.
Try clicking the image to open it in a separate window where the image can then be dragged.
dragging copies links, not the image?
