We should follow Rocket.chat implementation here.

👍 I am a new Wekan user. It's great so far, but I initially tried to drag an image in and concluded that it didn't support images. Only until later digging in, I discovered the "attachment" feature. It would be great to have this drag and drop feature.

It would be great if allow attaching image from clipboard. It's a true requirement from our team.

I am having to look at a different open source alternative simply because Drag and drop attachments are not supported. 👍

Hope this helps gets things moving. I work based on images covers and simply can not browse my file system for every card I want to add.

Huh, really, where you got idea that thumbs down is encouragement to implement feature?

[danieldownes]

Apologies, I've read the FAQ link you gave, I don't quite understand the logic or how it could be see as offensive/trolling. I thought negative sentiment was how these FOSS projects ran, or is that just Linux? ;)

Anyway, my point is that the FAQ etiquette section seems to be a list of rules without explanation.

This was my first posting to an open source project, even though I have donated to other FOSS software projects before, looks like the FAQ was tailored directly to my post.

I have edited the post. I am a coder so will look over the code at some point. If there is any other way I can attract more awareness to this need then do let me know.

Just a little shocked that D&D images did not work which I find to be essential, but there are lots of nice other features in the project.

I see there is no way to request prioritisation of features. Again I do not understand this decision, surely a game changing killer feature that much required should be swarmed upon by contributors/developers?

[xet7]

Hehe :) Wekan is friendly positive community, not Linux kernel mailing list.

[xet7]

Actually we do have some priorities, I updated Etiquette.

Wekan has quite small codebase of about 7000 lines only when not conting node modules, so contributing is easier than to some other huge projects.

I found that here on old PR: #397
could be these upload drag-and-drop and clipboard paste code: 955fabf and 4a3525b

Actually paste from clipboard should already be at Wekan: #387

It needs testing that does it work, and creating a new pull request.

[xet7]

Drag and drop attachment already exists in Wekan.

[Suleman-Elahi]

Can we drag-drop images on the card itself to upload/add as attachment like Trello and NextCloud Deck?

@Suleman-Elahi

Not yet. It will be added, when possible.

Your issue moved to #2936
