Those of you looking for a very good image upload/editing plugin for tinyMCE may be interested in imanager: Demo . Download it here. It is by far the best image plugin i have come across so far. be sure to read the comments to solve some issues when installing it.

Only problem is that the liscense does not allow commercial use.

has anyone used it and tested it with drupal?
Does it work with taxonomies?

I have used it with drupal, works very well for inserting images into a edit form. Does not connect to taxonomies, but has a system of folders instead. Either set your own directories or have the plugin pickup all available folders in a directory.

the biggest strength for drupal is its taxonomies and if it cannot work with it, then, i think it might be an issue with people around here.

Well that depends on what you want to do. Adding categories to images simply complicates things for me. Why must i categorise my images? Do you have an example?

sijuwi,
Its all about how one wants to organise stuff. When I started with drupal, I liked the way drupal organised stuff and assigned taxonomies which were visible to the users. For my site, I like that, as users can assign multiple terms to an image without having to manually copy and paste images to each of the folders for the categories. taking a vague example - suppose I want to classify my image as type x and type y, rather than me having to keep multiple copies of the image in folder x and folder y, taxonomy helps me keep a single image while giving me the flexibility to assign any number of types to it.
I hope that makes it clear.

I too think the taxonomy system is unparralleled (sp?), especially for organising pages, sections etc. With images I could see a use for your example if I had a gallery and one of my images fit under two category groups, however I would then use a 'gallery' software. In my site I would use it slightly differently in that I would only keep one image in one folder and use it in multiple pieces of content. I guess a kind of inverse of how you use it above. The page/node itself would then be categorised. Anyway, except the taxonomy thing, I find this plugin still does what is missing in most of the image module/plugins that I have come across. On the downside perhaps, is that it is overloaded with functionality and therefore a little slow, plugging it in is not striaght forward for the newby. Worth a mention anyway.
