What's Wrong?

When giving claude code a full file path, whether copy pasting or drag and dropping, it always gets converted to an image and claude code cannot see the file path, just the image. Typing the file path by hand seems to fix the bug, but gets annoying very fast.

What Should Happen?

The file path being properly inputted for claude code and not converted to a tmp image. Even if so, claude code should be able to parse the tmp file path.
