Hi Domi,

Would this be dragging and dropping files from the desktop into a text
box? Or dragging the files that you've already uploaded (like, say, we
show a palette of thumbnails and you drag those into your text box).

On a related note, the original idea behind the item Bug 1050297, in
Mahara 1.8.0, was to be able to drag files (from the desktop) into a
Mahara page and have them be automatically uploaded into the file area,
and rendered as an appropriate block. For instance, you drag an image,
it makes an image block. You drag a PDF, it makes a PDF block. Etc. But
we ran into implementation issues trying to handle two kinds of drag and
drop in the same zone (uploaded file drag-and-drop, and drag-and-drop of
blocks), so we scaled it back to the "upload zone" we have now.

Cheers,
Aaron

Title:
  Enable drag and drop image into text box

Status in Mahara:
  New

Bug description:
  It would be nice as a possible future enhancement if it was possible
  to drag and drop and image into a text box in Mahara. It would be a
  way of making it easier to add images.

  This was suggested by one of my colleagues.
