Description

Author: christoph.wilhelms

Description:
I have seen the TWiki JavaPasteAddOn http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins.JavaPasteAddOn , wich provides a button to paste images from clipboard directly into the article.
What does it do:

  • Start a signed Applet.
  • Get Image Data from clipboard
  • Greate a JPEG
  • Upload JPEG into the Wiki-Software
  • Embed <code>[[Image:WhatEver.jpg]]</code> into Wiki-Page

Could we get this as MediaWiki Extension? The Source of the TWiki Add on can be found here: http://trac.foswiki.org/browser/trunk/JavaPasteAddOn/com/mrjc/twiki/addons/TwikiPaste.java

It might be better to raise this as a seperate extension request, because it is not only useful for the FCKeditor extension.

VisualEditor includes this feature since MediaWiki 1.30 (T39932). It works in its "new wikitext editor" too.

Long resolved via VisualEditor. Besides, many experiments that tried to make it easier to upload images ultimately failed because the communities (most notably Commons) got spammed with unlicensed selfies and images downloaded from random websites.
