Image file / Image container as input field in apps

We nid the Image file / Image container as an input field for apps: “Upload image” + “Image from URL” and “Paste from Clipboard” would be nice.

    Makes sense! There’s actually a shortcut for it already. If you past an image or drag and drop an image into the canvas, it will automatically create the imagenode for you.

    But I’ll definitely also look into adding Image from URL and integrate images into apps!

      Do you think the Image Block should have an ‘Input’, such that the Image URL can be passed as Input to Image Block from previous output?

        Hmm, hard for me to imagine what the use-case would be. Perhaps for more agentic stuff. What do you think? 🤔

          Say if you wanna give 2-3 reference images as input (when researching or drafting a write-up, you’d have cluttered notes, and image link) … … … you can feed the text to a nano prompt block and those 2-3 images to image block, without needing to do that manually.

          This is great if you have a rough draft (a brain dump) with images/sketches that needs to be polished.

            Hmm so just to see if I understand correctly.

            You want to do:
            Image (from URL) → Prompt → Text → Image Generation?

              More like,

              Text (with URLs) —> Nano Prompt (pick first URL) —> Image (from URL) —> … … …

    Makes sense! I’ll make it. 😁

    While you’re waiting, you can also simply copy and paste the image into the canvas. The canvas will automatically create an image node if it sees that you have an image in your clipboard.
