Make inserting images more like MS Word

[Dmole]

Make inserting images more like MS Word by including images in the save(form post) without uploading them first.

1) images can be sent with the save as normal post data.

2) images can be displayed before upload (<IMG src="​file:///C:/a.jpg" />). (currently not working inside FCK)

3) the file upload inputs can be hidden when not adding files and already added file inputs can be hidden as well. file inputs can be unlimited in number.

this would make FCK have fewer clicks and make it more simple.

point 2 is a limitation of the browsers. In order to avoid security risks, pages in a server can't access content from your local drive, try to put that img in a normal html page and you'll check that it also fails. So this can't be fixed.

point 1 would mean that the script that receives the html should be modified to do the storing of the images and the replace each image in the posted content with the new path at the server. Of course it also means that working in an AJAX style will be much harder.

There are other ways to reduce the number of clicks that doesn't require rewriting the server scripts.

your point about not showing local files is a good one.
