ELI5

Images shown in Orca can be copied or saved from a right-click menu or the image actions button. Local files also offer Copy image path, Reveal in Finder/File Explorer, and Open with default app. The actions are shared across file previews, Git-diff image popups, and native chat previews.

What Changed

• Add shared image actions using existing menu/button primitives and the shared pan/zoom viewer. Copy uses the original image dimensions; Save preserves original bytes. The existing Copy as PNG toolbar action retains its 2× rendering behavior.
• Read image-only orca-media:// sources through the existing owner-qualified file reader. Separate preview-URL selection from binary paging so remote images larger than one RPC reply can still be exported, without changing ownership, grants, pairing checks, or transfer limits.
• Normalize SVGs with HTML labels to data URLs before clipboard conversion, reusing the existing SVG representation and retaining clipboard safety limits.
• Preserve source metadata for local SVG previews and sent-chat image thumbnails/popups. Share the existing local-owner decision; remote, unresolved, and URL-only sources do not receive local OS actions.
• Route Open with default app through shell.openFilePath. The legacy shell.openPath reveals a file in its containing folder. Report default-app launch refusal instead of silently ignoring it.
• Keep previews open while using portaled menus, close menus when a retained chat is hidden, preserve quiet save cancellation, and avoid exporting pending attachment thumbnails as original images.
• Add English/Chinese labels and regression coverage. No new dependencies, IPC/RPC methods, or persistent state contracts.

Why

Users should be able to share or save displayed images without taking screenshots. A shared implementation keeps the file and chat surfaces consistent while preserving the distinction between original bytes, rendered PNGs, and client-local file ownership.

Linked Issue

Fixes #9568.

#29114 remains open and overlaps image copying. This PR additionally covers save, path/link copy, reveal, and default-app actions; maintainer scope coordination is still needed.

Visual Proof

The before/after captures below show the original feature layout, before the latest correctness fixes. They are historical visual references, not screenshots of the current head. Both used hidden Electron windows at 1280 × 800 with the same synthetic image.

Before	After

The committed E2E scenario captures current file-preview and Git-diff popup screenshots as test artifacts. Screenshot binaries are not included in this PR.

Testing

Validation source: 200da5c0eca2f1c38eadb96e31f21236f7c9898c.

• Automated regression tests added/updated.
• Manual visible-window acceptance of native dialogs and external apps.
• Regression checks failed before their fixes: 5 MiB remote image export returned file_too_large; SVG menu copying produced no clipboard payload; sent-image menus lacked file actions; default-app opening used the reveal route and ignored refusal.
• Final focused run: 174 tests passed and 2 skipped across 15 selected files (14 passed, one skipped). One shell case is platform-gated; the standalone Chromium probe skipped when its browser was unavailable. SVG copying was separately verified in hidden Electron.
• Fresh hidden Electron build and the final two committed E2E scenarios passed at 1280 × 800. Coverage includes original PNG payloads, zoom independence, quiet save cancellation, popup persistence, SVG HTML-label copying at original dimensions, existing 2× PNG export, local SVG actions, and the actual main-process file-open handlers. System launch calls are intercepted so the tests do not open Finder or external apps.
• A separate local macOS acceptance probe used the real clipboard and filesystem IPC handlers: copied PNG pixels matched the original; copied image paths matched; saved PNG/SVG contents matched the original bytes; cancellation wrote no file. An independent Cocoa process read the copied SVG as a 240 × 100 image. The prior clipboard was held in memory and restored. Save-dialog selection was substituted with a temporary path; this does not validate the native dialog UI.
• Replaced the earlier synthetic PNG fixture, which Chromium displayed but macOS rejected, with a valid PNG. The file-open E2E now intercepts only the final Electron shell calls, so it can distinguish default-app opening from reveal behavior.
• ORCA_BACKGROUND_LAUNCH=1 pnpm check:changed --base=d967d53fa991f8faf8db1a07c34819e040b53eac --maxWorkers=2 --timeout=5 passed 40 of 41 checks, including the selected typecheck projects, formatting, lint, changed-code quality, localization, and flaky-test ratchet. The affected unit-test task timed out at five minutes; its output also showed six failures in agent-launch-cwd-refusal.test.ts and agent-launch-cwd-resources.test.ts. The earlier base comparison documented these same six failures on clean base d967d53fa9; that base comparison was not rerun during this update. The full standard gate is not claimed green, and no baseline, assertion, or gate was weakened.
• git diff --check passed. No lockfile change is included.
• Windows, Linux, real SSH, paired-web E2E, mobile devices, native save-dialog interaction, and visible Finder/default-app launch were not exercised.

Risk

Level: Low.

The main risks are selecting the wrong source bytes, failing image conversion, or offering a local OS action for a remote path. Existing ownership checks, MIME checks, clipboard limits, and remote transfer limits remain in force. Save preserves source bytes rather than resizing or re-encoding them. A plain revert removes the feature; it cannot undo files already saved or prior clipboard writes.

AI Disclosure

Implemented and reviewed with OpenAI Codex (GPT-6). Tests and local acceptance results above distinguish real system operations from intercepted boundaries.

Review

• Cross-platform labels and shell APIs are reused; only macOS was exercised.
• Remote and folder-workspace ownership is resolved through existing routes; no Git-worktree-only assumption is added.
• Web clients do not receive unsupported desktop image operations or internal blob/data URLs as shareable links.
• Original file/network reads happen on action selection; revocable image sources are captured while menus hold them.
• No agent protocol, provider adapter, integration, or production deployment changes.

Agent skill upstream boundary

• Not applicable: no upstream skill-installer source, tests, fixtures, registries, or documentation copied or mechanically translated.

Notes

The PR is ready for review. Overlap with #29114 and the untested native-window/platform boundaries remain explicit. A successful CodeRabbit or cleanup job is not a passing test workflow; current-head CI status must be checked separately.

Checklist

• Focused on shared image actions and their callers/tests.
• Explained the user-facing behavior, implementation, and risks.
• Included before/after visual references and identified their provenance.
• Reviewed ownership, security, cross-platform, remote, and performance impact.
• Full standard local test gate is green; see the bounded gate result above.

Walkthrough

The change adds shared image copy, save, path-copy, and eligible local-file actions to editor and native chat image views. It adds image-source reading and download helpers, passes source and ownership information through image viewers, and updates context-menu handling. Runtime file reads can request original bytes without media preview URLs. Tests cover action availability, image reading and saving, ownership cases, and image-viewer interactions.

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 200da

Some displayed web images cannot be saved, and file actions for a remote attachment may open a different local file. Fix these paths before merging.

Explanation

[#9568] ImageActions adds right-click image copying to ImageViewer and PanZoomImageDialog, including file previews and Git-diff popups. Shared source readers copy original image content. The SVG conversion change supports HTML labels and retains clipboard limits. Unit tests and E2E tests cover editor, popup, SVG, and remote-image copying. Two focused diffs were unavailable; the whole-PR summary supplies evidence for those changes. Reported tests were not rerun in this assessment.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

[#9568] Save, path or link copy, reveal, and default-app actions extend the shared image menu for the same image-sharing workflow. Native chat integration, ownership guards, source reading, localization, and tests support image actions across image surfaces. No unrelated change is demonstrated. Overlap with #29114 remains a maintainer coordination question.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Copy and Save fail for oversized remote images.

39-39: Major · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift

Copy and Save fail for oversized remote images.

readImageFileSource passes pageOversizedBinary: false. For a remote image above the files.readPreview reply limit of about 3 MB, the read does not page. files.read returns binary_file, then files.readPreview returns file_too_large, and that error is rethrown. The editor can show the same image through a range-backed preview, so Copy and Save can fail on an image the user can already see.

Enabling paging here needs a separate change. The same flag also enables the range-preview branch. That branch returns a range-streamed grant rather than full bytes, so the image action can reach the Image unavailable error. The read path needs a whole-file option that skips the range-preview branch.

Preserve the attachment’s execution host for OS actions

When a user drops an image from a remote runtime workspace, the attachment has no connection ID and its path is outside the attachment store. This assigns it a local owner. Reveal and Open with default app can then act on a different file at the same path on the client.

Carry the attachment’s resolved owner to the preview and mark it local only when that owner is proven local.
