Updating Media Unpublished.[Reedited]

[KishorMali]

Hello!!

Local Guides.

Today when I published my idea,

for more understanding I upload one image in my Idea.

But it can’t published.

Image is less than 3 MB.

Then I again try to publish that image but I can’t succeed.

Then I try third time, and I succeed.

Maybe it’s internet issue.

So, my first and second effort

Failed and looks like in this image.

Remove 1 and Remove 2.

But, now I want to remove this 2 times published updating media.

When I try to delete this ,

but my cursor gone and LG connect stuck.

I try many times but I failed in this.

So, now I ask question about how to remove this?.

Here, is my idea’s Link.

I Edit this post for more understanding, at time 8:27PM IST. On 8 May.

Any answers?.

Hi @KishorMali

Content editing in Idea Post is similar to the content editing on other boards.

Definitely, you can remove the picture by pressing Backspace, from your post. Further you can remove the unused picture under the Photos section from your profile too.

May i know which Idea post you are talking about ? Can you please share the link ?

@VinayKrishna

That you mention it’s not related to my question.

Thanks.

Hi @KishorMali

This will be appreciated to continue the thread instead of editing the post silently and simply responding otherwise.

This is the section from your Post

"When I try to remove highlighted area, my cursor gone and LG connect stuck.

I try many times but I failed in this.

So, now I ask question about removal of this highlighted area?"

My basic knowledge tells me that, you are asking how to remove that highlighted area in your post. And I guess my answer was related to that.

Make sure you read twice and understand the response before responding ‘It’s not related to my question’

Hello @KishorMali
I appreciate your endeavours to publish posts through the phone.

However, in my opinion, that’s not the most suitable medium for creating new posts. The small screen size & also the cursor jumping problem makes that utmost difficult.

To resolve that, I suggest following way forward.

Every Google account holder has access to Google Docs online.
Create the complete document first in Google Docs, including images. Ensure that the image size is less than 3 MB
Then select all & copy the entire thing. Next, paste the content into the required board & that can be idea exchange also.

I tested that & could copy the text + image in a new post in idea exchange.

Please note, the android clipboard can copy & paste images within compatible products only.

@VinayKrishna

I edit my post for purpose is addition of my idea’s link into my post.

ARE YOU SURE?.

In this question, I not mention about image.

I think you misunderstood.

I said when I upload image it’s unpublished.

And appear as highlight area.

Highlighted Area is not a image!!

And you reply…

(Content editing in Idea Post is similar to the content editing on other boards.

Here, I not mention about photo, and your reply looks different to my question. That why I say you.

@C_T

I definitely agree with you, small screen and a big issue * dialogue box jumped up*.

I definitely apply your advice.

On Android, the publishing of my post is sometimes difficult and I faces some issues.

Thanks for your important suggestion.

I have a bad memory too, @KishorMali , as I remember you mentioned “image”.

BTW, editing a post after someone responded is a bad way to interact with other people. If you want to make an edit, for correcting your post, just keep the old text strikethrough.

BTW, the Updating Media message is a message that you can get on mobile while you have a bad connection.

The message may be active if the post still on edit, but should disappear once posted.

I do not see any “Updating Media” message, nor a photo placeholder, on your idea

@ErmesT

I shared Image for more understanding to other Local guides.

And here updating media in my idea, it’s not a image.

It’s looks like a unsolved thing.

I edit post because responded local guide ask about my idea’s link.

I don’t change any other things in my post.

I only add my idea’s link.

Scroll down to my idea. You find two uploading media messages.

Thanks.

Try to delete this image @KishorMali , and please let me know

[MortenCopenhagen]

Hi @C_T ,

Your method with having pictures (<3M each) in a Google Document and then copy-pasting the text AND pics to Connect does it leave the photos intact? And they will not count towards the 1000 pics max on Connect?

So far I have uploaded pics separately after pasting the test only. Great news if this works. Thanks so much for this valuable tip.

Cheers

[ErmesT]

@MortenCopenhagen , please check this post: Publish with Google Doc in Connect , by @FaridTDF

The system works, and the photos are automatically uploaded on your album

The only advantage is to upload everything in one shot, but will not solve @KishorMali issue, that is probably due to low connection during the upload

[KishorMali]

@ErmesT

I delete that image.

Can you give me proper answer why you suggest me to delete?.

That image I edit, for idea purpose.

[MortenCopenhagen]

This is a test where I include an image inserted into this Google Document. The aim is to see if the photo counts towards the max 1000 here on connect.

I will report the results right here after the upload.

Result:

1. Yes, the image survived the cut and paste.

2: Unfortunately the pic is now in my “Saved photos” so this photo does count towards the max of 1000.

Thanks, @ErmesT . I just needed to test this. At a later date, I plan to delete this nice image.

Cheers

Latest:

I tried inserting an image into Google Docs via Insert | Image | Photos (google photos). And this also steals one of my 1000 pics.

Even later:

Test three

This image is first shared in Google Photos. The link you get there is not usable. Instead, I right-click and select “Copy image address”. The in Google Docs: Insert | Image | By URL. But NO. this strategy is also stealing a seat in my 1000-bus!

I give up. The HTML trick is all the I see left. Which is not very user-friendly.

Cheers

[ErmesT]

What happen with your idea post, @KishorMali is that, probably due to low connection, there are a couple of photo that still apparently in upload. The one that I asked you to delete is a duplicate of the one already uploaded.

I wanted to see if, removing the duplicate, the issue was self disappearing.

I am tagging @MortenSI , as he was already writing on your post to check inside the post

[KishorMali]

I update and edit my Post now, for more understanding.
