For anyone who wants to make raw image data pasting work as mentioned here, please use webkit2gtk-imgpaste as the dependency.

It works on my older arch machine, but on a new one it fails with:

(process:2237): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:34:46.477: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Settings: Failed load ui resource: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input

can you help me debug this problem?

@ricardoqueen

This was the error that showed up here:

(process:20711): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:06:06.264: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. Settings: Failed to load ui resource: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input

I checked my /etc/locale.gen file and re-run sudo locale-gen. Now the app works

According to the Arch Packaging Guidelines, packages cannot be installed to /usr/local. The prefix should be changed to /usr. Here is the diff of what I did to change the prefix:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD index 23a0cc1..ffc2a12 100644 --- a/PKGBUILD +++ b/PKGBUILD @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ md5sums=('5c8d6f27c1825a1cdcb89a8557d0a041')

build() { cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver" - cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . + cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr . make }

Thanks! We use webkit2gtk as backend and unfortunately, Whatsapp web doesn't support it well. Maybe, we can switch to some other backend but I am not aware of any better candidate.
