Say I find an image here on Lemmy that I want to share with a friend on FB Messenger. On Windows, I could just copy the URL of the image, go to FB, “upload image” and paste the URL into the file picker dialog.
so do the same and paste the link on facebook. I thought facebook shows image links on chats.
I could just send the link, but I’d rather it be displayed directly in the chat. In any case, this was just an example. When I wanted to upload my avatar to lemmy, I had to download the image I found online and then upload it via the file picker. It’d be more convenient to just point the file picker directly to the URL of where the image is hosted in the first place, which Windows’ file picker dialog allows (or at least it did on Windows 7).
