One less-than-perfect thing about Plone is the way its current WYSIWYG editor, Epoz, handles images.
Which got me thinking, it would be really cool if one could simply hack Talks PHP Image Manager/Image Editor in there. Sure, it’s not “pure Python” but it works pretty darn well. It just writes the images to the file system, and passes a hunk of HTML back to the editor.
Anyone wanna take it on?
hmmm, tried it, sloooooooooow, kind of buggy (hey why does my image flicker in and out of view) , I have used HTMLArea’s code before and was not really impressed, but it has been a while. There are small freeware apps (http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm for example) that do basic resizing and cropping. For some task, the browser is not the app for the job.
