I found a workaround for the moment - I use an app called Better Touch Tools (BTT), wonderful btw, and it has an edit screenshot option that allows you to upload it to a site, copying automatically the link to the clipboard.
So, when you paste the link to the comment section, besides the link, a thumbnail appears with the screenshot. Not so fast as before, but second best.
I work at a full service agency. We have designers, developers, and more roles in the company. There is a mix of text & visuals & files constantly being shared across team members. Being able to insert visuals in-line with text within the comment will be ace for us. Right now it inserts the visual as an attachment to the text. So if someone comes to the task, they will have try to match up the text in comment with the visual attached - and when the comments start to pile up it will add a lot of time to try to play the match up game.
The commenter will always have to mention the visual file name.
We are shifting from Basecamp to Asana, and the one thing weāll miss from Basecamp (especially with a majority designer team) is the ability to attach the visuals within text in comments. We are rolling out on Monday and Iām sure this will be the biggest ask!
Thank you to Joe_Thomas for the Asana Paste extension - legend! Iāll try to make due with this in the meantime.
Meanwhile, Asana - pretty please, do create this feature! Our team will <3 this forever and it will minimise wanting to switch back to Basecamp or find another solution that bridges the divide between designers and developers better. Thank you thank you!!
Is there any update from Asana on whether this feature is going to be supported and when? We use Asana to manage projects with clients and theyāre starting to ask why we donāt use Slack. The lack of this feature is proving to be a big frustration.
Hi Liam - We appreciate your interest in this topic! We arenāt able to provide timelines for feature requests, but if youāre interested in learning more, I suggest you take a look here:
I wanted to personally reach out & update all members of this thread of a recent update you may be excited to hear of. Our team of developers have integrated your feedback & have since rolled out the ability paste images from your clipboard in your Asana Tasks now!
Thank you again for sharing your feedback on features that are important to you & your workflows. Itās really helped us identify how our work can best serve our members all over the world, in what theyād like to see in their Asana.
Thatās super awesome! Thanks Michael for sharing, I know lots of us are very excited to see some common features/workarounds being enveloped into Asana prime, so to speak ;D
Iām glad some people are happy with this but itās not what I was hoping for. Iām with @Juan_Diego on this one. Itās inline images and some HTML formatting (like tables, ordered lists etc.) that I need in order for Asana to be a useful tool for e-mail messaging.
A great addition! Thanks for making headway on this. Another nice-to-have would be the ability to name the file as it gets pasted instead of just āimage.pngā or something.
