paste of image in clipboard.

[Klaus C. Youm]

I think FCKeditor is wonderful editor for wiki. So GREAT thanks.

I request this functionality.(I couldn't find the duplicated request.)

I usually make some manuals with screen captures. The captured image is copied to clipboard. Then I would like to paste this image to FCKeditor directly. Is it impossible? Or is there any other security problem?

I hope this functionality will be supported.

Good question. Is JS capable of handling binary clipboard data? Even if it would, the image has to be exist on the mediawiki server.

Thank you for your quick comment.

There are some doubts. What is JS? Javascript?

The scenario is like below. I open my wiki. My wiki is MoinMoinWiki by powered python. I create new page or modify old page. When I editing it, I would like to paste the captured image temporarily. After modifying the page, I click the save button. At that time, the captured images will be uploaded to wiki server.

Is it possible? If I could join the development of this functionality, I would like to.

I don't think that this will be possible because you have to deal with a bytestream which JS is not able to handle.

Maybe there are other ideas.

GoogleDocs doesn't support pasting images. Is it possible? Does anybody know?

GoogleDocs also doesn't support pasting images. I just tried to. Why doesn't it support? Does anybody know?

No browser allows to read the binary data from the clipboard. Even getting just the HTML it's hard enough.

I didn't expect anything else.

I just tested this in Gmail and it works to paste images in their e-mail composer now, both for Firefox and Chrome, unfortunately not for IE9.

Also Atlassian Jira has a way to handle this with a small java application.

I think you should reconsider this ticket, as it is becomming more and more common to capture screenshots and paste directly in any publishing tools, and it is very handy not to have to go via save.

As I wrote in #8461

You can make it work in Firefox with this plugin: ​http://cksource.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=23646

With regards to Chrome, when I tested it the results were too buggy and required changes at the server to handle the data, so it can't be published in the same way.

Also, I've tried now to send a mail in Gmail with Firefox and although the image was pasted while editing, it was stripped out after sending. So it's not enough to check if you can paste in some system, it should also save the image or it's really worse than not showing nothing while editing.
