Sweet! I downloaded the build and played with the feature. Very nice; I’m impressed.

I tried to take a screenshot (Cmd-shift-4) to the clipboard (holding down ctrl), and that wouldn't paste. That'd be the ultimate.

Also, you're really on the ball, commenting that quick to my original post. Kudos.

Sure, pasting images can go in there too. What you can already do is dragging images in there. Not only files, but also, say, GraphicConverter selected areas or from the browser.

Okay, I look really silly now. ecto has become really really cool since I used it in version 1. That’s almost exactly what I’m asking for. The reason I didn’t think it did inline images was that I tried to paste an image off the clipboard, and it didn’t do anything. Fix that, and I’ll buy. I might buy anyway.

Maybe you could have pasted images be converted to JPG/GIF/PNG based on either a sheet that comes down and lets you choose the format (odd and modal), or a preference: - Use PNG format for pasted images - Use JPG/GIF format (will automatically choose based on image content)

Actually, you can use inline images fine in ecto’ Rich Text editor. It just uploads them to server once you post the entry.
