File Drag And Drop

Enables dragging and dropping files into EditLive! A number of file formats are supported:

  • Images - gif, jpeg, tiff, png

    • Inserts as an image tag. The image will be uploaded using the standard local image upload functionality.
  • Text files

    • Inserts the contents of the text files as plain text.
  • HTML files

    • Inserts the content of the HTML files, fully formatted.
  • MS Word Documents (only when running on windows)

    • Imports the contents of the Word documents.
  • .url files (Internet Explorer bookmarks)

    • Inserts a link to the bookmark target. The bookmark title is used as the link text.

Installation

Installing the Drag and Drop plug-in simply requires adding the plugin. 

elj.addPlugin("dragdrop.xml");

Dependencies

This uses the following libraries:

  • Java 1.6. If you use a lower version the plugin will gracefully refuse to load and an error will be reported to the console.
  • EditLive! 6.2. One of our internal APIs changed for the 6.2 release and the plugin has been updated to use it.
