[TYPO3-dev] Cannot cut and paste images directly into RTE

[Ricardo Pereira]

    Hello all,

    I'm trying to cut and paste images directly into the RTE (regular 
text-only tt_content record) but it just seems to ignore it.

    I am pretty sure I used to be able to cut and paste images directly 
into text-only elements from MS Paint (OUCH!) sometime ago. Looking at 
one of the pages I created using that feature I can see that the images 
I pasted into RTE directly still show up (see 
http://www.tdwg.org/membership/available-services/wiki/ for an example). 
However, they don't appear on the RTE when I open the content element 
for editing.

    I have patched RTE to fix the security problem recently. I'm using 
version Typo3 4.0.4 and RTE v1.4.3 and I have the flag "*Enable images 
in the RTE*" (enableImages) turned on.

    Was that feature (direct handling of images in RTE) removed or is my 
RTE extension just misconfigured?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,

Ricardo
