Cannot paste pictures in the note (Zotero 6.0.2)

I cannot paste screenshots or pictures in the note with Zotero 6.0.2. Does anyone else come across this problem and know how to fix the problem?

    I guess you are using Windows and trying to copy an image file from file system?

    If so, you can try to drag and drop the file instead.

    Yeah, it works! Thank you!

    I'm using Windows, and I cannot pate screenshots in the note when I review PDF papers with my Edge browser. I cannot drag the pictures without saving the picture that I screenshot (it's really inconvenient to save the pic and drag I mean)

    FWIW, if you view PDFs in Zotero, the area selection tool automatically adds images to annotations, so that'd be a simple way to get images from PDFs into Zotero.
    You can indeed not paste screenshots from the clipboard into the notes, though.

    We've restored the ability to paste images into notes on Windows in the latest Zotero beta, and if there are no problems it will be included in 6.0.5 soon. If you try the beta, let us know if you run into any trouble.

    Sadly, the ability of copying and pasting images in Linux is not working!, I used to copy images with "Ctrl + c" and pasting with "Ctrl + v" from Image Editors like GIMP, please fix it. I tried the latest beta 6.0.5, but not working..
