I have the same problem. I use the Logitech Smart Folio Keyboard with an iPad and have the same weird issue!

No idea though how to fix it..

@cvp @ccc Funny, funny., but a good point: These days everything is semiconductors...

In regards to the problem at hand: Using the file systems means I have to create a tmpdir first I guess - or where the heck does the stuff get saved when Pythonista executes in a share extension???

Thanks for the details. I was hoping to be able to tweak dialogs.share)image to export JPGs, but the detour via a JPG file is ok too.

Thanks again!

Thanks @cvp.

Does this mean I have save the PIL image first as a JPG to disk and then I can share it?

I use dialogs.share_image(img) to share an photo from Pythonista to other apps.

The photo is given as a PiL image and it seems to be shared as a PNG which is pretty inefficient for photos.

Any idea how I can share the photo as a JPEG?

@cvp Yes, I noticed , because I got “AttributeError: '_ui.Image' object has no attribute 'format'”.

I’ll try your new suggestion. Thanks!

A new chapter with my Image Share Extension:

I started using appex.get_attachments instead of appex.get_images, because with get attachments I get the path name and thus can check for HEIC images with the same name as JPGs. This is great for the Photos app.

However in the Files app I get via get_attachments duplicates for the same file path! get_images(image_tyepe='ui') still gives me only single files.

Here some debug output with two files selected in the Files app when calling the Share Extension.

get_attachments list:

  /private/var/mobile/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Journals/Diary/_assets/Aubergine-menu_MAR2021_Julia.jpg

  /private/var/mobile/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Journals/Diary/_assets/Aubergine-menu_MAR2021_Leo.jpg
  
get_images list
  <_ui.Image object at 0x1162F7240>
  <_ui.Image object  at 0x1162F7550>

So I clearly prefer using get_images! But then I do not know the name and extension of the underlying file (for the HEIC deduping). - Any way to get this?

Many thanks for pointers in advance!

@cvp Totally agree. Would be sooo good to be able to reach out to omz...

...view.wait_modal...

Aha! wait_modal Seems to be the trick! Cool!

Maybe reinstall Pythonista?

Always afraid to lose my data

Fair enough, but the Python files you should be able to get back via iCloud if you stored them there.

Of course all custom links you’ve put into the Wrench sheet, you’d need to rewire...
