Currently I am working on “upload while in the editor” as Sigurd called this.

http://www.ii.uj.edu.pl/~ujma/upload/imageUpload.htm

It’s not done but I want to give demo to ensure myself that I’m on good path.

> 4. When image is inserted, downsize it so its not way bigger than the width of my editor (e.g. over say 800px?). Chances are I don't want it this big, and its a pain to reduce the size!

Sigurd: I couldn’t reproduce situation that you have written about. As I looked in the code the max size of image inserted to TinyMCE can be 600x600 [px].

(Automatic insertion into TinyMCE is the next thing to do)

Wicked, that is much more streamlined than our current process.

I think it would be great to be able to get into the crop/rotate editor here too. For instance you could right click on the thumbnail and have "edit photo" as an option.

Mujma this is really awesome stuff.

I also support Sig's idea of having cropping and scaling in the editor. Further I would like to see contextual toolbar icons for image operations, (which would be possible if we get Tim's idea implemented) rather than having so many icons in the editor.

Nice work! No more having to drop into the Files & Image section to upload an image! :-)

Finally code landed in repository (r39615) for now there is one small issue in IE6/IE7 I spend almost day on it but I couldn't fix it :(, I will work on that later this week. Thanks for feedback I will try to implement your ideas as soon as I will finish my scheduled work.
