That's interesting...I just tried it again and at
first it seemed that the
issue was solved. Several pasted images were added to the page, each with
it's own distinct name. I was copy/pasting from saved files.
I made some additional experiments and discovered how it was that I saw
that
image replacement behavior. In my original tests I was taking a screenshot,
and pasting the image in directly from the buffer. In each case the image
was named "image.png" and effectively the second copy/paste overwrote the
first image. The screen capture software offers the image in each case with
the name image.png.
So it's not really an issue with xwiki. My legacy patterns which I hope to
replace in part with xwiki involve pasting images into word documents as
I'm
documenting a process. Word does not retain the image as a file per se; it
absorbs the file, and so there is no assigned file name, or chance of file
name conflict. xwiki does save the image as a file and has no mechanism
(that I know of) for detecting that the two images are different and then
saving the two images as separate files.
The CKEditor uses the file name specified by the OS/Browser. If the file
name is not specified then it uses a default name
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-ckeditor/blob/master/ui/src/ma…
which leads to a random (unique) attachment name
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-ckeditor/blob/master/ui/src/ma…
. So the fact that the attachment is saved as "image.png" in your case it
indicates that the OS / Browser / the image source (where you copied it
from, e.g. the clipboard) specifies the "image.png" name. So CKEditor has
to use it.
Note that in some cases you want to overwrite an existing attachment. You
edit a page that has an image and you want to upload a different image with
the same name to replace it.
If there is an add in that might mitigate this issue that would be ideal,
but I might guess there is not. I may be able to defeat the brain dead
clipboard paste name of image.pgn, and that would solve things very well.
Thank you for your input...since you reported, and I confirmed, that
pasting
multiple images can work, I had to look again at why it wasn't working in
my
test.
