Dragging images from another comingle tab doesn't work in Chrome #154

Dragging images from another comingle tab doesn't work (tested in Chromium).

EDIT: works in Firefox

This seems to need this Chrome feature request, given this security feature.

It would be very nice if I could just paste from my computer's clipboard when I do a screen grab. Unfortunately what I've had to do, is to paste into a StackOverflow answer, which generates an imgur URL, then I paste that URL into the cocreate whiteboard, which is tedious and wastes time when I'm doing live tutorials/lectures.

Also it would be nice if I could resize the images that are pasted into the cocreate whiteboard, by dragging a corner.

I just wrote a LaTeX equation with the biggest font-size available, but it was not big enough for it to be a "title", so I would really like to be able to drag my images/equations at a corner to make them bigger!

This is actually issue #22 (though I appreciate the confusion, given the issue title), so please continue any discussion there. I made a decision a while ago to focus first on embedding external images (via paste or drag or the Image tool), to avoid burdening my Cocreate server with lots of huge image files. See the related quota ideas and this comment.

FWIW, you can also upload directly to Imgur (via their website or a browser extension, though I haven't tried the latter). I agree that it's tedious, though.

This is issue #17, so please continue discussion there. I agree that resizing would be valuable; it's just a matter of finding time to implement it.
