No longer possible to paste paths to images #9283
Description
What version of Codex is running?
codex-cli 0.84.0
What subscription do you have?
Pro
Which model were you using?
N/A
What platform is your computer?

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

What issue are you seeing?
Currently, when pasting a path to an image that exists in Codex, like "a-directory/a-image.png", Codex doesn't let the path be a path, but instead turn it into [Image #1] or similar. If you paste a path to an image that doesn't exists, Codex doesn't do that anymore.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Write/acquire a path to an image Codex has access to
- Copy that path as a string
- Paste it into Codex
What is the expected behavior?
When pasting strings, Codex lets the strings be strings, instead of turning them into images for codex to read.
When pasting image data, then Codex should try to read it as an image, this is correct.
Additional information
As mentioned, this only seems to happen when pasting a string path to an image that does exist on disk, that Codex can read. Otherwise it keeps the path as a string.
Valid workaround for now is to paste an incorrect path, then manually fix it after pasting it into Codex. But I think we all agree one shouldn't have to do this :)
