Usage

Collective.clipboardupload is a Python package, developed to simplify the process of inserting images into visual editor without the need to upload the image.

After you have installed the product, activate it via Site Setup -> Add-ons section. Now you can copy any image from your computer or some web source and then click "Paste" on your visual editor or by key combination. Those pictures will be automatically uploaded to the folder that contains a page and stored as an image content type. Furthermore the path to the image itself upon saving in TinyMCE is rendered as resolveuid link.
