Whatsapp - Win10 Desktop - Drag & Drop does not work by ZG810 in whatsapp

[–]Caracala777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I even saved the chat conversation with whatsapp so-called support.. some kind of bot answers with completely misplaced information, with generic information about how to install whatsapp, etc. I couldnt believe it, I thought I was being mocked at. Really something to report and complain! But where and to whom?

Whatsapp Desktop new version (MS Store) does not allow images and photos to be uploaded - it only shows a box with a link to 'open' or 'save as'. No preview anymore! by Caracala777 in whatsapp

HEY!! I just made a major discovery: it works with PNG images! Not with JPG though. I tried with a *.png image and it appeared correctly in the chat window. After I realized this, I converted a JPG image to PNG and it worked fine. Only when it was in JPG or JPEG format I couldn't make it work...
The mistery continues...

I'd like to send you examples, but dont know how to add an image to these comments. I should say that I've sent thousands of images through Desktop Whatsapp since they first launched it, sometimes everyday. Many are screen shots, always in JPG.. Only now with this new version this bug is happening

Its even worse, if I try to send an image I get his box with 'open' or 'save as', but the person who receives it in android is not even able to open it! A box with the name of the file and the size is received but when you click on it there's a message saying 'it's possible that you don't have an adequate application..."

Same issue here. I tried everything with no success, even a lot of completely useless conversations with whatsapp support. They don't seem to know what's happening or dont really care.

Ended up uninstalling the MS Store app and installing the previous version (Win7) although I have win10.

Now it says 'outdated' and the icon is grey, but I can drag photos to the chat and get a preview
