make video upload more intuitive #380

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 

I think users are confused by uploads for two reasons: they don't know to open 
the uploads dialog, and they don't really understand files and folders.

They probably want to put the image into the text, the attach and embed process 
is less intuitive.  Behind the scenes it must work this way, but a file upload 
box and drop target could be placed directly in the page, and bound to the 
textarea, something like gmail does.

One can detect mousemove over the textarea and if the mouse is carrying files 
from a drag, place a drop target directly over the WYSWYG editor as a 
translucent modal, and show the uploads there, with a quick instruction about 
using the 'attach media' button on upload complete.  Something the user will 
have to click 'OK' to when the files are attached.
