🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"API Key Missing"

• Set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable
• Restart terminal after setting
• Verify: echo $OPENAI_API_KEY (Mac/Linux) or echo %OPENAI_API_KEY% (Windows)

"tkinterdnd2 Installation Failed"

• Mac: brew install tcl-tk
• Linux: sudo apt-get install python3-tk
• Windows: Usually works by default

"Cannot Drop Files"

• Check file extensions (.png, .jpg, etc.)
• Try dragging from a different app
• Verify file permissions

"JSON Parsing Error"

• Usually temporary - try again
• Raw response is still saved
• Check API key permissions

See INSTALLATION_GUIDE.md for more troubleshooting.
