As I get very common with tinymce4's imagetools I usually upload images by drag&drop in the content area.
How about a d&d zone in the filemanager's upload feature, driven by dropzone for example?
Would this be welcome? Does anybody have this already in the pipeline? Is there already a plugin for?

Wishlist: drag&drop area in filemgr/Upload
Re: Wishlist: drag&drop area in filemgr/Upload
Actually, I have recently thought about this, too. I have doubts, though, that spending much work on the Filebrowser would be reasonable – there are so many issues that it might be easier to program a new filebrowser (perhaps reusing some code of Filebrowser), and this one could also be field tested while the present Filebrowser could still be the default for some time.manu wrote:As I get very common with tinymce4's imagetools I usually upload images by drag&drop in the content area.

Regarding the library: I'm more and more getting to a NMH (not-maintained-here) syndrom. For instance, I'm really unhappy that PlUpload switched to AGPL. That required me to release Uploader_XH under AGPL, too, and that means that everybody who uses a customized Uploader_XH on a public site is required to make the modifications available (at least on demand) for everybody. Other examples where relying on a foreign library turned out to be an unfortunate decision are Roundabout_XH, Browserupdate_XH and almost even Pagemanager_XH. And we should not forget about jQueryUI …
Re drag&drop based file upload: I really like that, but in my opinion, more important is the ability to upload multiple files at once (basically supported by <input type=file multiple>) and chunked upload for large files, which would otherwise exceed the PHP limits. Frankly, having $cf['images']['maxsize'] in 2018 is ridiculous.
