I have a Drupal commerce site, and the product allows a user to upload a file. The file is attached to a line item type. Currently they are presented with a Browse button which is fine, but I would like to give them the ability to drag and drop a file into the upload area as well. Similar in functionality to Gmail or imgur.com.
The field type has to stay as a standard Drupal File field, since we do some post upload processing to the file.
I have unsuccessfully played with thee media module, and a few others. The problem I have them so far is that they are either a different field type, or there isn't a way to limit the drag and drop upload to a single file. We only allow one file to be attached.
It has surprised me that this isn't easier to do. I will send $50 via PayPal to whomever can tell me how to do this. If really needed, I can get you access to our dev site, but I would rather have directions on how to set it up myself.
Please ask me for any more information you may need.

http://drupal.org/sandbox/vingborg/1138512 supports drag and drop, not 100% sure if it can limit file upload, but you can always edit plupload js to limit the number of file can be uploaded.

This sounds good. I can
This sounds good. I can install the module, enable it, and then set the widget type as mupload, but dragging and dropping doesn't appear to work. Really nothing seems to have changed. I also do not see any configuration pages for Plupload of Mupload within Drupal. The status report is showing the plupload library as installed. Is there something I need to do to enable the drag and drop functionality?
I believe a patch to plupload
I believe a patch to plupload module is needed, but not 100% sure as of today. coz its been months since I last installed the module.
Anyway did pluplod upload tables shown in your page (as shown here http://www.plupload.com/example_queuewidget.php) ?

Yeah I looked at the patch
Yeah I looked at the patch that was mentioned in plupload, but as far as I could tell that was incorporated into the release a version or two back. I will look at it a little closer later. To answer you question no I did not see an upload table like the one in the link.
did you get the js and put
did you get the js and put them in the directory as plupload module suggested?

Thanks for this
So far it seems to work flawlessly. What are the chances of this becoming a regular module?
What about dragdropfile?
What about https://drupal.org/project/dragdropfile? Uses actual XHR2 upload.
