Dragging Cover Images Into Calibre

[Jeshire]

I remembered a feature that used to let you drag an image from a web browser into the Book Details right sidebar in Calibre in order to add the image to the cover metadata. I thought I may have confused that with something else, but then I found this post in another part of this forum:

But now it doesn't work for me. I'm running version 0.8.52, and the earliest I remember it working was somewhere before 0.8.35.
Does anyone know what happened to this feature? Was it removed?If it was, consider this a request for it to be re-added.
I enjoyed it a lot because the built-in cover downloader can't always find covers for some books and the dragging method doesn't require downloading the image and then browsing to its directory.
Thanks for any help.

It works fine for me (WinXPsp3 & calibre 0.8.52) though only when the browser itself supports dragging out the image. I can D&D using Firefox, but not with Opera, which drags out a link to the image and not a copy of the image. With the latter (my preferred browser) I simply right-click and "copy" in the browser and then right-click "paste" in calibre.

OHHHHHH, that would make sense because I just switched from Firefox to Chrome. I didn't think of that so it was my fault, then.
But thanks, I didn't know about copying the image.
