I spent hours<\/em> trying to debug why Ulysses<\/a> wouldn\u2019t post my latest weeknotes to WordPress from my iPad. I kept getting an error that the document contained unsupported HEIC<\/a>-format images but I couldn\u2019t see which, as the image filenames are hidden in the Ulysses sheet. The post took ten minutes or so to upload, and each time I found I had to go to the WordPress media library and delete the images that did<\/em> upload successfully so that they weren\u2019t duplicated on my next attempt.<\/p>\n

Eventually I found a way to view them, by dragging the images one by one from Ulysses into Gladys<\/a> where the filenames became visible.<\/p>\n

It turns out that the root cause was my having dragged-and-dropped enhanced images directly from the lightbox in Camera+ 2<\/a>. Saving them to Photos first and then dragging them in from there got around the problem.<\/div>\n
