inline image

Attaching images to comments on github.com is a delightful experience. Select multiple images through the file dialog or simply by dragging it into the comment textarea, and they will get uploaded and posted in the comment using an inline filter.

We could make this possible as well on drupal.org extending the core file upload for nodes, or the comment_upload module for comments, and leveraging the inline filter.

I've been trying to come up with a suitable solution for inline images for a while now without a ton of success. I'm sure you have had a client who wants to be able to insert images inside the main area of their text. Generally, I try to steer clients in the direction of using CCK fields for content images, but given the fixed nature of this approach, it doesn't work well for longish' tutorials with screen shots. Writers that use Drupal will often times want to use wysiwyg to get their uploaded images into the content above or near the focus of the topic.
