I theroy you could do this - Via RSS you would copy everything coming in to Evernote. For this you would need a premium account but once you have graphic images in Evernote premium it translates them. If I have a screen capture of a list of files. I can search for Comctrl.dll and it will return the note with the screen capture and the DLL name highlighted.
Thats a clever solution, but i was hoping for something that everyone can use right away.
I’m not in the discourse community but if someone could forward this question to them i think it could benefit all discourse users in general. (not just me or us)
It should not be a feature but a default
I like this idea too. I was thinking if there were a repository of the posted images that could be sifted through which would link back to their posts. As it turns out there is… Google image search! All images on the forums
Google also allows image searches of a particular site with syntax like this:
site:forums.maslowcnc.com circle — (Link to example)
in the image search page
I tried to tag ‘search’ on this post and did. Can you edit topics? The search field to the right of categories should allow to type and add. This might be restricted by rights, but if so should be lifted if possible.
Edit: Sadly there seems to no options to tag your post in a topic.
It appears I do not have the right to edit topics. or at least I don’t see any way to add a tag to this topic. The search icon only gives me searching options, none to add anything.
So tagging is restricted, that is sad and explains kind of why we don’t have more tags.
FYI, I have a pencil to the right of the topic and can change the headline at will.
isn’t there a section in the search to “Only return topics with…”? I think there’s either an " upload" or “images” checkbox there? (I’m working from memory here; and might be confusing forum engies…)
Yes, only posts that include an image is an option. Unfortunately that does not show the images, just the text of the posts. If you are looking for a specific image that you remember, for now it looks like Google image search is the only route available
Still it would be cool if discourse had this option itself so that not only the people ‘in the know’ have this, but just everyone on the forum has the option at the finger tips.
Mainly because pictures can tell a 1000 words and that pictures can get you to a similar issue in a different way then words.
