New Issue with Paste relative path in MS Edge

 As I work on MK 1.0.06 I noticed the "Paste relative path" button in MK is not working. The button is used to parse the text content found in the clipboard, such as an absolute path to an image file. The function here is to convert this to a relative path and paste in the appropriate syntax to the selected field.

Basically, the new behaviour is nothing happens. However, I did notice an error was logged in the browser's Console. Press F12 to enter the DevTools and select the Console tab to see if you are experiencing this error.

I was using MS Edge. I knew both Edge and Chrome had been upgraded recently. It's Oct 10, 2026 as I write this. The new browser updates were released on the 6th and 8th.

In order to confirm my hunch I downloaded Edge version 154, the previous version of Edge (from 155). The button was working as expected in 154.

The JavaScript error I am experiencing in version 155 stems from recent, strict updates to the Asynchronous Clipboard API specification implemented across the Chromium project. I am reviewing the code. Suggestions that have been presented to me on how to change the code are not working.

I did not experience this issue in Chrome, but I suspect it will be coming soon.

Therefore, in MK 1.0.06 I have replaced the "paste relative path" button with a "set relative path" button. Instead of reading the content from the clipboard the user pastes the absolute path into the field and uses the button to automatically convert the path to a relative path. MK 1.0.06 should be released before Christmas, 2026.

In the meantime, switch to Chrome and be sure you have this setting set:

1. Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings

2.Click Additional permissions and select Clipboard

3. Manually toggle the flag to "Sites can ask to see text and images you copied" or explicitly add your trusted website domain to the allowed list.

In Chrome I found searching for "clipboard" in the Settings was faster:
