Can confirm same error on Mac OS. You must fully restart the session, current session cannot continue.
this was fixed for some time today and not it is broken again - really inconvenient not to be able to use images
facing the same issue.
Fixed in v1.0.3. You should now be able to paste in jpg paths as images.
@dicksontsai excellent, thank you! Kudos to the team, Claude and cc are game changers.
