decipheredThere is support for the WYSIWYG API module, which includes support for FCKEditor, which does exactly what you ask.
The Drag'n'Drop Uploads support for the WYSIWYG API module is limited at this stage due to issues with Google Gears and a known Safari/Chrome issue I'm trying to work out, but the Firefox 3.6 support is mostly stable.
To test it out, try the WYSIWYG tests at http://demo.stuar.tc/dragndrop_uploads
It's unlikely at this stage that I will support any of the native WYSIWYG modules as the WYSIWYG API module is far superior.

kaakuu commentedThe demo is really cool. Has the Drupal community seen this? This is actually a front page material - should be reported in front page. I foresee that it will be part of core in near future, if Drupal was wise enough that future should have been today!
Anyway, I will test with the WYSIWYG API - it will mean one more module to the already biggish module count, I wish there can be a package with drag and drop and all these modules and for us its just click and go, may be an installation profile, now that there is hype about the newly done installation profile protocols ?
Further wish, if someone could get this work with the damned IE
Finally, huge, huge thanks to you for doing this much needed job. Do consider promoting it seriously across Drupal and the net.

decipheredThanks Kaakuu, I really do appreciate your kind words.
I would love more people to be aware of this module, and have been blogging and tweeting as much as I can to let people know, but I don't yet believe this is worthy of frontpage news, I would prefer to have a stable release out first and I would really like to fix some of the compatibility issues before I do that.
However, word of mouth from people like yourself is always good :)
Hope to hear more from you regarding testing so I can make this the best module it can be.
Cheers,
Deciphered.

kaakuu commentedI have been able to test with success the WYSIWYG Test 2 demo as well as drag=drop text link of images in all themes previously not working. However I am stuck with dragged image being shown up in the textarea - unable to do this. Can you make a tarball of the demo site available for a short period?
Comment #5
decipheredSorry, I guess I partially misunderstood your original issue.
The only way an
tag can be rendered as an actual viewable image is in a WYSIWYG editor.
While I understand the merits of your request, it's just not going to happen.
Cheers,
Deciphered.

kaakuu commentedThe demo 2 does what I wanted. However I am unable to reproduce it (hence the request for a full tarball of the site :!!). Can you kindly say what is the WYSIWYG editor (FCK? CK? Whizzy?) being used in demo 2?
Thanks again. This module keeps on rocking.
Comment #7
decipheredI guess I misunderstood you again :)
The module for the WYSIWYGs is the WYSIWYG module.
WYSIWYG Test 2 is using TinyMCE, follow the instructions provided by the WYSIWYG module and it should be fine.
If you need Google Gears support, refer to the instructions of the project page to regarding gears_init.js.
Take note that there are still issues with the WYSIWYG side of things, but if they are evident on my demonstration site, so you should be able to replicate what you've already tested.
Let me know how you go.
Cheers,
Deciphered.

kaakuu commentedSo far I have tested in localhost. I plan to set up a demo site to test in actual environments. Yes WYSIWYG module is the module but it needs FCK or TinyMCE or others. And ah - now I get it. I tested with WYSIWYG + FCK. Maybe I need to test with TinyMCE which I prefer less :\
You have not misunderstood anything and so far the going has been great with this module. There is no other module which does this while there are many duplicate modules in drupal. I will spend more time, try various permutations and whether that succeeds or not drag and drop at the basic level is success :)
So cheers.

kaakuu commentedI can now almost always drag drop an image, that is, its text url in themes where I was previously unable. TinyMCE also works. However, I am still unable to show up the image in the textarea
It will be good to know under the Wysiwyg module, whether your settings are like these below
Input format Editor Operations
Filtered HTML TinyMCE 3.2.7
Full HTML TinyMCE 3.2.7
Unfiltered HTML TinyMCE 3.2.7
What "Input format" you have allowed for the demo user in the demo
Filtered HTML
Full HTML
Unfiltered HTML
and what are the Allowed HTML tags if its Filtered HTML
Any other special Wysiwyg setting you have done for TinyMCE?
To actually and finally show the image in node are you using just TinyMCE or similar OR imagefield/inline ?
etc ?
Continuing to thank you!

decipheredHi kaaku,
It did occur to me that it could be a configuration option. I am using a couple of modules for my preset:
ImageCache
LightBox2
Edit the 'Content Type' you are dealing with.
Under the 'Drag'n'Drop Uploads' settings, select the Formatter you want.
Hope this helps.

kaakuu commentedWhew!
Finally got it working!!!
Though not always under all themes but many times under all themes.
I got it going well with TinyMCE but will love to have it with CK or FCK via the WYSIWYG module.
But then its working.
Time to close this thread?
Those who have not tested this yet are missing the charm, and sure in near future there will be much demand for this.
Thanks, cheers and gratitude.
