I've read that the VisualEditor team is planning to integrate an upload-image feature but that this "requires some significant preparatory work from the Multimedia team; VIsualEditor-en work mostly done".
Any plans when it could be possible that I can upload images directly from VIsualEditor instead of going through a separate upload process.
Hi, Marcel.
James and I have spoken about this a lot. The current situation on my end looks like this:
# There are significant problems in how UploadWizard is structured. # Those problems make it difficult, if not impossible, to use the UW code as a library. # We have other priorities that have been taking precedence, and we have relatively few engineers (basically, me) who are willing and able to work on UploadWizard.
I would really prefer to have UploadWizard be the answer, because it deals with a lot of corner cases that I don't want to lose support for. A new upload tool would be faster but less helpful overall.
Hope that sheds some light on where I am.
