Hi, in your AspxHtmlEditor, in case when I want to insert an image to doc, there are two options

- From the web site

- From local computer

 The main problem I have, is that I can not insert existing image on web server.

I have to add a new one from local computer, and after that, multiple same images exists on webserver (in upload dir), and of course htmlEditor change the name of image.

So question is, is there (will there) be a possibility to choose from pictures in upload directory ?

Another question, do you have/plan a component which can be used as file uploader ? or integrate this to aspxHtmlEditor ? Because it would be nice if it could upload for example pdf documents.

Hi!

Sorry, currently ASPxHtmlEditor doesn't have an ability to visually select an image file in the upload directory. We've added a new suggestion, so that you can track it here.
Also, ASPxHtmlEditor doesn't have an integrated file uploader. We have ASPxUploadControl. So, you can use it to create custom dialog commands. However, we suggest you wait until we develop this feature. We've registered an "Add ability to insert document links" suggestion. You can track it here.

 Just one more question, AxpxFileUploader is fine, but it is very simple control, i mean do you plan an File uploader & manager ? for examle something like this control:

 It would be very nice to have this control in DXperience pack, with same styles and themes.

Thanks,

 Hi!

 We're planning to provide a dialog in the ASPxHtmlEditor to allow you to upload a document to the upload directory and insert a link to this document.

I need the ability to "upload a document to the upload directory and insert a link to this document" that you said was in the works.

Is it still being planned?  If so, do you have any estimate on when it will be available?

I was just trying to figure out what happens to images when you choose the "from this computer" option. Im not running it on the server, im still running it on my development machine, so where would this file go to? And according to the above posters, it goes only to one folder called upload on the server? can we manipulate what folder the image goes to and what name it is given?

Also, in your HtmlEditor demos "Soviets Launch First Man In Space", the picture is left justified and then the text flows on the right hand side. How is this achieved? I want users to drop a picture and have the text flow exactly like that, but I dont see any way of doing this with the toolbars.

Thanks.

Hi!

Any uploaded files are saved to the folder specified by the SettingsImageUpload.UploadImageFolder property. For more detail  see our online documention here.
How uploaded files are saved to the UploadImageFolder, see SaveUploadFile function in the InsertImageForm.ascx UserControl code-behind(~/DevExpress/ASPxHtmlEditorForms/InsertImageForm.ascx.cs).

In the "Soviets Launch First Man In Space" demo, we've specified the FLOAT css attribute for the image tag in the Html view by hand. We're planning to add such capability to the InsertImage dialog. We already have such suggestion, so you can track the status of this issue here: www.devexpress.com/issue=Q183752

 Andrew, is there a workaround for this (float issue with images)? The case log seemed to have no answer for the person who submitted the request.

Would it be possible to add a custom toolbar item and then have the float item in there as a temporary workaround? i cant seem to wrap my mind around it.

thanks
