Magic input advice please [Pattern image uploading]

I mainly use simplicity and download pdf , when I use magic input it only picks up the four main photos, for descriptions.
If I want to add line drawings or charts it say not an image?
So I have to screen shot and then add them after. Am I doing something wrong as it takes such a long time getting all the information onto one pattern? Thanks for any help!

Hi :waving_hand:t3: @Marilyn welcome to the forum :smiling_face:.

I don’t think that you’re doing anything wrong per se.

I often upload Simplicity pattern info & images (however I usually do everything manually :joy: - 'cos I’ve a particular style that I like to fill in the text in the Description, Adjustments and Notes fields that I personally favour).

So, I download the images from the websites to my phone + then upload them to the app. The Download tends to have a sharper, better quality image :framed_picture: than a screenshot - hence my preference for them :smiling_face:.

If you’re unfamiliar with how to download images to your phone :mobile_phone_with_arrow: then see info. below :right_arrow_curving_down: :smiling_face:

Unfortunately the Simplicity website design means this is the only option - take what it can give you then add the line drawings and charts afterwards.

This may vary by browser but this is what I do:

I long press the line drawing to get the pop up menu


Then I choose Open image in new tab.
In that new tab, I copy the URL from the address bar, then in Stash Hub I add the line drawing by the URL.

Yup, I often use that method too :smiling_face:
