How to insert a photo in Google Wave.
1. DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER. There appears to be a bug that causes images loaded while using Internet Explorer to continually display a "working twirl"; never a finished image.
Google engineers will probably figure it out and fix it soon. Meanwhile use FireFox or Google Chrome or Flock or Safari.
2. Start a new Wave, or reply to an existing Wave.
3. Click the paper clip/attach icon.
4. Select the image from your computer, click Open.
5. A thumbnail of the image will appear. Clicking on the thumbnail will bring up a full size version of the image.
So far, I have not yet been able to successfully drag an image into a Wave message. Anyone managed that yet? When I try to simply drag, this is what I get:
I m jealous, I haven't even got an invitation to google wave yet so I can't try anything. Alas.
Me too, I am jealous as well. Google Wave from what I have seen is going to just be so cool. Wish we could of gotten an invite.
I'm keeping track of everyone's name... so when Google finally allows me to invite others, I won't forget. Meanwhile I figure if I keep posting helpful information like this, Doctor Google will realize what a nice person I am and allow me a few hundred invitations to give away. :-)
<sigh> I would be glad to address your Wave topics, Cheryl, but I too am a member of the underprivileged, uninvited class. I am sure our President is working on a government program to address this deep social issue but I don't see a national tax on Google and its elite invitees being very helpful to me.
The bright side is that when I do gain access to the product - it will be working betterl
As always, thanks for all you do.
@Ted :-)
Actually, a little old fashioned capitialism might work. People are stilling ~selling~ invites on eBay :-)
P.S. If you do decide to buy one, I'd suggest buying from a seller hawking a "live link" ... if you buy a nomination, it might take as long to receive as waiting for me to receive my allotment of nominations.
Cheryl - I love the easy of sharing photos via waves. People can add their photos and with one click you can download. I haven't perfected the drag and drop method but have seen it demonstrated. The Google roll out for developers is on YouTube. It is a bit long at 1-1/2 hours but it shows alot of the features, uses and future developments in the works.
