Version: (using KDE 4.0.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux If the user drags the screenshot to a text box, ksnapshot should save the screenshot in a temporary file and insert the file name. This would be useful, for example, for uploading screenshots through web forms: one could just drag and drop the shot to the upload box.
If your need is to upload the shot using services like imageshack or imagebin you can drag the screenshot to the pastebin plasmoid directly from the ksnapshot preview. Anyway I'd like this feature too: it could be very useful to attach screenshots into bugzilla bugs for example :-)

I would add an extra button to upload to image hosting services (with some predefined ones). Dragging screenshot to text-box could invoke the upload to favorite service and putting URL into the box.
Since from dragging the picture it is not inherent that you want to share it over http (what's more, automatic uploading could cause accidental leaking of confidential information) I don't think it is a good idea to not have the opion of saving locally. By saving it locally we also have the option to drag it into the upload field of a html form of an image hosting site or a bugzilla (at least we would have if DnD to text fields wasn't still buggy in KHTML). To have the option of uploading to an image hosting service and inserting the url we could open a popup menu with the options of saving locally and uploading to image hosting services.
Git commit 3bb8fe97096badedf45863ab81f5868ca01cc2de by Sebastian Kügler. Committed on 19/07/2013 at 19:46. Pushed by sebas into branch 'master'. Attach URL to dragged image to mimedata This makes dropping ksnapshots images into clients work that don't pick up the image data, but only look for a URL in the dragged mimedata.
