v2.80 image drag and drop

phossler · 02-25-2017, 04:06 PM

1. Thanks for the new feature

2. If I drop outside of <p> tags, I can see the insertion cursor

3. If I drop inside a block of text, the insertion cursor doesn't show so I keep missing. I can always move the resulting <img> tags, but if I knew the thumbnail 'marker' I could position it where it is supposed to go, for example between the BETWEEN...BETWEEN I was using for a test in the screen shot

Unfortunately, that's not in my control, cursor rendering happens in Qt.

Would it be possible to drop the image where the insertion point is, even if it's not visible?

That way if I drag and drop on the edit window anywhere, the <img> would be at the insertion point

No, drag and drop in the editor widget from Qt is designed to move the insertion point, this is so you can use it to move chunks of text witht he mouse.

No problem - it's still a good additional feature, and manually rearranging the <img> tags is not a problem
