Using Robot class to upload an image onto a website into a cropper tool. VK_ENTER not exiting file explorer

Question

When looking at this post: I got most of my solution but the VK_ENTER at the end did not take me back to the web page which leads to another issue of getting back into view of the page and not the cropper tool where the image is placed.

Can someone let me know what I need to do to get this to work?? Thanks!!

Here is the code:

public static void setClipboardData(String string) {
   StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection(string);
   Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(stringSelection, null);
}
And that is what i do, just after opening the "open" window:

setClipboardData("C:\\path to file\\example.jpg");
//native key strokes for CTRL, V and ENTER keys
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

Here is a link to a screen recording of how this is supposed to work(resizing and moving is not relevant to the issue)Upload profile picture] 1

One of the issues is that the VK_ENTER is never done to leave file explorer and return to the web page. If I do it manually while the test is running the Save button is never found. Here is the error for that:

I have tried the Actions object as well as JavascriptExecutor and neither seem to work.

Here is the complete code:

package groupPhotoUploadTest;


import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection;


public class groupPhotoUploadTest {
  private static WebDriver driver;
  private static String baseUrl;

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    baseUrl = "http://loadtest1.staging.brio.viddler.com/";
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    driver.get(baseUrl + "/");
    driver.findElement(By.linkText("Login")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.name("email_address")).clear();
    driver.findElement(By.name("email_address")).sendKeys("jfrank@viddler.com");
    driver.findElement(By.name("password")).clear();
    driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys("Annie0308!");
    driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button.button")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.linkText("Load Test1")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.linkText("Manage Site")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.linkText("Manage")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='container']/div/table/tbody/tr[5]/td[6]/a")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.linkText("Upload Logo")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.name("image_file")).clear();
    driver.findElement(By.name("image_file")).click();     
//    driver.findElement(By.name("image_file")).sendKeys("C:\\Users\\Janet\\Pictures\\P8291157.JPG");
    setClipboardData("C:\\Users\\Janet\\Pictures\\P8291157.JPG");
    Robot robot = new Robot();
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
 //   robot.delay(5000);
/*  WebElement saveLink = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[12]/form/div/div[1]/button[1]"));
    Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
    actions.moveToElement(saveLink);
    actions.click();
    actions.build().perform(); */
    JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
    WebElement saveLink = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[12]/form/div/div[1]/button[1]"));
    jse.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", saveLink);
 //   driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button.submit.button")).click();
  }

public static void setClipboardData(String string) {
       StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection(string);
       Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(stringSelection, null);
    }

  public void tearDown() throws Exception {
    driver.quit();
  }
}

Finally have it working. Here is the complete code. Had to use the cssSelector and not the xpath:

  Robot robot = new Robot();
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER); 
    Thread.sleep(3000);
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER); 
    Thread.sleep(3000);
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    WebElement saveLink = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button.submit.button"));
    Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
    actions.moveToElement(saveLink);
    actions.click();
    actions.build().perform();  
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    WebElement submitLink = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input.button"));
    actions.moveToElement(submitLink);
    actions.click();
    actions.build().perform();
