Summary

A way to send paginated embeds with local thumbnails

What is the feature request for?

The Problem

I am trying to send a paginated list of embeds with thumbnails I have stored locally but there isn't a "files" arg to send my thumbnails as an attachment.

The Ideal Solution

Add a "files" arg to Paginator.send/respond

The Current Solution

No response

Additional Context

No response

I would assume so.

async def send(self, ctx: Union[ApplicationContext, Context], files: List[discord.File], ephemeral: bool = False) -> Union[discord.Message, discord.WebhookMessage]:

if isinstance(ctx, ApplicationContext): msg = await ctx.respond( content=page if isinstance(page, str) else None, embed=page if isinstance(page, discord.Embed) else None, view=self, files=files, ephemeral=ephemeral, ) print(msg) else: msg = await ctx.send( content=page if isinstance(page, str) else None, embed=page if isinstance(page, discord.Embed) else None, files=files, view=self, )

ok here's what I changed in pagination.py

It works...kinda.

if you do

await paginator.send(ctx, files, ephemeral=False) - files being a list of discord file objects.

Problem is hiding the other files that send - see below - it does work to change them on the buttons but they all show up there. Not sure what do from here

Cool thanks!

I wonder if this is even possible now since you have to attach all at once and you can't send a file when you edit a message (or in this case change a page).

#712

This will get us closer to the desired outcome once implemented

[code0nwheels]

Thanks so much!

So can your tweak be also be implemented in respond as well?

Planned to be added to the functionality for the Page object.
