Hello !Friendica Support .
I have noticed I can no longer add attachments into posts on my instance.
I am doing it like this:

  • Click new post button
  • Don't use Drop files here to upload but click Add attachments instead.
  • There is a menu that allows me to switch between photos and files mode. Switching modes is working fine. I can list files uploaded in the past.
  • When pressing the Upload button nothing is happening for me.

I am using keyboard to activate the upload button and I am just wondering might this be an accessibility issue that it can only be activated with the mouse?

When looking into my server logs I am not seeing errors related to uploads at all.

I know it used to work a few months ago. I am on the develop branch.

I don't know what's going wrong, but I can say that for me, on both my instance and my local test instance, both of which are running the new version, when I click the upload button a file manager popup appears, where I can select a file. So it appears to be working here, at least up to the point where it's failing for you?

If there's no file manager installed or configured to handle such file requests maybe that could be a case where it doesn't happen?

@Marcus This is happening on the desktop with firefox. So file manager is definatelly available At least I have found a workaround. When writing a post there is a drop files here. Using This one is working for me.

@Marcus Please, does the file manager file selection show up for you when you activate the button by pressing the enter key when it's focused or do you have to Click the upload button with the mouse?

Hm, it seems I have to click it with the mouse, and pressing enter doesn't work. But if I have clicked it once and then dismiss it and press enter again, THEN I can open it with Enter, even though I'm pretty sure I have selected it successfully with tab.

Either way that's ideal. I will try to look into it.
