OK I think I found a workaround. Ugly, but servicable until this gets fixed in the mainline: I retrieve the share sheet image in PIL format as desired, but then convert it to to "ui" format before pushing to the clipboard. For all other uses, I have a PIL object with all the right methods.

In case anyone else runs into this, this code shows the workaround:

import importlib import importlib.util import io import ui from PIL import Image def pil2ui(pil_img): with io.BytesIO() as buffer: pil_img.save(buffer, format='PNG') return ui.Image.from_data(buffer.getvalue()) def main(): print("Starting test") # check to see if appex library is available appex_spec = importlib.util.find_spec("appex") FOUND_APPEX_LIBRARY = appex_spec is not None if FOUND_APPEX_LIBRARY: import appex import clipboard import shortcuts if appex.is_running_extension(): my_image = appex.get_image(image_type="pil") # workaround: force to 'ui' format my_new_image = pil2ui(my_image) print("Setting clipboard image") r1 = clipboard.set_image(my_new_image, format="png", jpeg_quality=1.0) print("Finished setting clipboard image") else: print("This demo is for Pythonista running in an extension") if __name__ == "__main__": main()

Thanks for replying. I've tested a couple of things but haven't had luck yet passing a file without first exporting the note, but it's not a deal-breaker so I haven't dug in too far yet.

I've built a todo extension that will read my .py or .txt (or whatever) files from the share sheet and create reminders and tasks through ClickUp, so I can keep track of my project work a little more easily. I've never thrown my code up for review before, so if anyone is interested in taking a look, feedback is appreciated!

@augusto Yes, fortran codes run only by sage point of view, but you can use Pythonista to write fortran codes, test and use them when online, without using other ios apps that most likely are only able to send fortran code. Bye

@lsloan A recursive search would indeed be good and not hard to implement.

@cook
Thanks for looking at my code. I'm glad to know I hadn't overlooked something silly.

As it is, I am trying to make an extension to re-display or mobilize certain kinds of websites. Imagine if I went to a website full of thumbnails, and the script grabbed all of the linked full-size images. There's other websites and whatnot, but I was mostly playing around with extensions for now.

Thanks again for the help.
