Attach Screenshots Images in Composer

Hi all,

I tried this prompt in the composer and attached a screenshot I keep getting the response.

Prompt: update UI as show in the image
Composer Response: I apologize, but I don’t have access to any image in this conversation.

If I send the same prompt in chat it works.

Prompt: update UI as shown in the image

Chat Response: To update the UI as shown in the image, you’ll need to create several components and style them accordingly. Here’s a high-level overview of how you might structure this in React: …(continues)

Dose the composer not accept images pasted in chat box ?

Disclaimer I am an amateur developer.

It’s a bug in Composer and Long Context chat:

Wonder if it was working in the previous version before today’s update.

It was working before 0.40 I think

Thank you for your report! Looking into it.

Noticing the same issue here, was definitely working before 0.40 (since I’d used it frequently!). I switched models from claude-3.5-sonnet and gpt-4o-mini mid-conversation & reattached the images and neither were able to see it.

Any updates on this ? I literally just subscribed 1 day ago and this started happening the next day. SMH.:person_facepalming:t2:

Seems like the current release was very buggy.

Any change of a roll back until all these issues are fixed or we just have to wait until someone gets the time to look at these ? Which I am assuming is a long time.

I was some how able to install and older version to test if screenshot attachment works in composer and it worked. I knew this is supposed to work since is saw it in some of the YouTube videos touting Cursor’s composer feature.

Below is the version I tried.
Version 0.39.6
https://downloader.cursor.sh/builds/240819ih4ta2fye/windows/nsis/x64

But it forced auto update to 0.40.03 once I closed and re-opened it. SMH

For whatever time I was able to use this previous version . I found that it is not indexing all the project files.

I have no idea if this is useful information, but I am noting that when I attach an image to either composer or chat, 2 network calls are made which when previewed represent the attached image immediately upon adding the image to the chat or composer panel. However, when I finally press “Submit” in chat, a final 3rd network request is sent containing the image (and the AI correctly sees it), whereas when using composer, that 3rd network request is never made.

Any word on a planned fix? This was such a great feature of composer when it was in beta.

I’m also having the same issue, when i copy and paste an image into the chat, then hit enter it describes the image (i pasted in my directory structure)

In composer it shows the pasted image then when i hit enter, it apologizes as it cant see the image:

Ok this is getting ridiculous. No response or any fixes offered. I am cancelling my sub and here comes a review.

Yeah, seems like nobody listening to any feedback on bunch of issues everyone facing with every update. They are getting piled up without any resolution in sight.

I’m facing the same issue and a bunch of others. Getting tired of this. Has anyone come across a good alternative where I can get AI to write code? Replit seems a bit too basic.

I need a refund if they will honor it. It broke the next day i signed up with the update. barely used it.
