Suggestion: Option to Hide image background popup

Added information: the popup showed when i added the image and move the image to outside page, to generate a background.

And only now (with more tests and new stories) i have see the “+” button to add image in background. In some times, if i add the image and tried to move to generate the background, not showed the image.

@rodrigoflausino Thanks for sharing these videos. Unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce the issue you are experiencing.

We have a “keyboard shortcut” to disable snapping and drop targets when the ? is pressed. Perhaps you can check if this could be the reason why your images aren’t snapping in as the background.

Hi! About to second video, its a irregular bug (doesn’t happen every time), but you can try to insert the image with background in first page (with + button), and insert the same image in second page and try to move to border, and not have a background effect (for example a square image, with 1000×1000 pixels). And after this, i tried to set another image in second slide and a tried to move the border to increase dimensions, but with mouse, i only the set in “0” position (in X) with insert value directly.

I know about future update to check if the editor uses the same image in many pages from a Story (and set this with bad practice). Sometimes i create in this format when i use a large phrase/text in second page.

About the keyboard shortcut, i will tried this more times.

@rodrigoflausino Unfortunately, I still was not able to reproduce this issue. Another thing we can confirm is where you are dragging the element to snap into the background. Are you dragging it to the edge of the canvas or off outside of the canvas?

Hi @rodrigoflausino! Hope all is well. Apologies for the late update here. Just wanted quickly update you that in version 1.19.0 of the Web Stories plugin the snackbar message should only display once now. Hopefully, you were able to see that on your end too.
