@garrettschueman: Thanks for the feedback. I don't think it's a global issue, because it's working for most people. It's got to be something weird. I'm going to add some logging this weekend to try to catch it failing on the display. I'm also going to message CybrBoy to try to get some more information about his browser configuration. If neither of those help, I'll check out bug reports for the library I'm using in case there's a quirk with it that I'm not aware of.

@CybrBoy: Thanks. I will probably have to message you this weekend to get further information because there’s not a global issue with Chrome; that’s the browser I use and which most other people are using. So there might be something different about your browser configuration. I’m using a library called Konva to display the images, so I’ll also have a look to see if there are any reported problems with it. I tried a few different libraries when I was making the pattern maker and this was the one with the fewest problems, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still random bugs with it which I didn’t notice before

In the meantime I would say to double check that you’re on the newest version of Chrome. You can do that by going to More (the three dots) on the top right, then Help > About Chrome.

@Crumpet: sorry i didnt mean for then to come off as rude lol, but im using google chrome, i think thats a browser idek

@CybrBoy: I believe you. I’m not denying that it’s happening. I’m just saying it’s a browser-side issue, meaning the upload is succeeding but the display of the image is failing, so I’ll need to know what browser you’re using so I can look into it. What browser are you using?

@Crumpet: I just found the image on google, but im on a computer. It said i uploaded it but it just didnt show it,. I have tired many other images before and they didnt work either,

@CybrBoy: I can see in the database that your image has successfully uploaded. It’s a rainbow thing with >.< eyes, and also one with dark hair. So it will be something browser side preventing it from displaying, or if you’re on mobile it might be positioned off screen because mobile isn’t formally supported. I’ll need to know what browser and device you’re using.

@CybrBoy: can you send me a message with the image you’re trying to use and tell me what browser you’re using and whether you’re on mobile or a computer? I’ll look into it but it might not be until the weekend.

The only browser that officially isn’t supported is Opera due to it having canvas quirks, but that doesn’t mean that other browsers don’t have issues either.

@Crumpet: I have tried the file feature and either way it doesn work, also yes i know it doesnt generate the pattern, but when it says i imported the image it doesnt show up and it says i cant edit the immage but it still doesnt work

Have you tried the new file upload feature? When you go to upload an image, there should be a tab for URL and a tab for File. Click the File tab to use it. Refresh the page if you don’t have that option. The URL upload option doesn’t work for every image because a lot of websites block us from importing the image. A lot of people also try to use invalid URLs which point to web pages rather than direct images.

Just in case you weren’t aware: the pattern maker doesn’t generate a pattern for you automatically. You have to trace it manually. I do have a pattern generation feature coded, but I haven’t got it tested and merged into the pattern maker yet. I might even do it as a separate page to begin with. I’m not sure at the moment. I need to check out the state of the code because I wrote it a long time ago
