Simple intuitive image uploads

[Connie]

and if that's the case, GetSimple needs to consider a different editor

I am tired of this discussion ;=)
I do not think that this is a "knock out argument" for the editor, if so I wouldn't have spent many years now integrating CKEditor or FCKEditor in many different CMSs or Blogs
please, don't ring the bell so loud ... ;=)

beside this, what you consider a main problem, is not really a problem (from my point of view)

1) you can upload images from the files-rider, by that you also get thumbnails
2) when you write a text, you can easily search the server images from the image-dialogue in the editor
3) also in WP I do not upload the images when writing text, I have to click on an icon (icon or rider ... what is the heck? I am glad there are differences in this world ...) and after that dialogue I have to click on "include in post"

this is the only difference: when you have not already uploaded your images before editing, you have no direct connection from uploading to the edit area

I would be more than glad to have a free filemanager for CKEditor and you can believe me I am searching for that, when I have found one, I will document how to integrate it here, for sure

until that time, you are always free to integrate an older version of FCKEditor in GS, which comes with free filemanager, they are still available for download
