[TYPO3-dam] Latest DAM and images (RTE)

[Uschi Renziehausen]

Hello Ben, Benni, Michiel, Dan and each and everybody

a lot of things do not work in my DAM installation (Ben, it is the one 
you send me on Monday after I complained that the version from trunk 
does not work), but the image stuff works nearly flawlessly now.

If I insert a new magic image, the title and the alt attribute are set 
to the values I configured for RTE.

Resulting markup in code view is this:
<img 
src="http://spinne.uni-erfurt.t3/uploads/RTEmagicC_seasons3_21.jpg.jpg" 
alt="Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Der Herbst" title="Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Der 
Herbst" style="width: 300px; height: 365px;" />

My RTE DAM related RTE configuration looks like this:

RTE.default {
     buttons.image.title.useDAMColumn = caption
}

But, as we can see, the style attribute is used for width and height, 
which is not a very good idea. RTE 1.7.4 uses width and height 
attributes. Example from an installation without DAM:

<img 
src="http://www.tu-ilmenau.de/unirz400/uploads/RTEmagicC_flag_de.gif.gif" 
height="13" width="21" />

Using width an height here is better, because in quite a few 
installations the style attribute will be simply parsed away. This is 
necessary if you do not want to allow your editors to set borders and 
stuff like that for the image which they can do if they switch to html 
mode or paste some code from another webpage.

Now, if you do not allow the style attribute for img, editors have no 
chance to control the size of a plain image. They always end up with the 
original size in FE!

The image properties dialogue is buggy:

If I open the properties dialogue the title and alt fields are empty.
If I then try to modify e.g. the title and click 'Update', nothing 
happens: The title does not get updated and the window does not close. 
Must be some JS error.

I hope that clarifies the situation.

Kind regards, Uschi
