Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

Firefox allows users to drag or copy images into wysiwyg editors and inserts the image inline as a base64 encoded data string.

Because of the way drupal text filters work, this can end up filling your database with several megabytes and hit your sites' performance when the filters try to process the encoded strings.

There are other solutions that makes good use of this functionality, but in case you don't want to allow image uploads and inline images, the best practice is to avoid those images ever appearing in the editor.

This module consists of a plugin for ckeditor based on http://drupal.org/node/1193036#comment-6623188, that removes the base64 string before the image is even shown in the editor.
