Wrong and/or confusing error message when dragging from another tab

NoppesTheFolf opened this issue · comments

Fluffle has a drag and drop area which makes it easy for users to reverse search images stored locally.

Happy accident: this drag and drop area also works for images dragged into the area from another tab. This works for Chromium-based browsers, but not for Firefox for example. Fluffle will show the following error for browsers that do not support this:

This error message is not very clear because it doesn't correlate with the action the user did (the user dragged something into that field, they didn't drop a file). The same error message gets shown when, for example, an URL or some text gets dragged into the area. For the error to then mention a file is even more confusing.

The above scenarios should be handled with clearer error messages.
