Type: Feature Request

Allow users to add inline images in the Angular Editor. I.e. Automatically encode and add the result to the src attribute of an image tag as the images are pasted.

The use case that we would like to cover is as follows.

1. Open an image in Paint.

2. Select a region and copy it.

3. Paste into the editor.

4. The image should be displayed in the editor.

It should, however, be encoded similar to the way that Kendo Grid for jQuery does to produce something like this.

<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAA...vwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==" />

Note that the image is not hosted remotely at some URL, but rather is included inline within the body.

Hello,

The desired functionality is available in the current version (3.x) of the Editor component.

Hi Rory,

I am sorry to hear that the Kendo Angular Editor does not meet the requirements that you have.

As Petar said, the feature is in our backlog, but I cannot commit to a specific ETA, as our development team is tackling fixes, enhancements, and new features and components based on our roadmap and we typically abstain from giving exact timelines as we would not like to make promises we might not be able to hold.

It is scheduled for our next official release in May 2021, but this estimate can be changed during the development of other tasks.

Regards,
Martin

It seems demand has not yet forced this into the backlog. I see this as such a useful feature - in the mean time we have to use another editor to do the job.

Hi Tarang,

There is no doubt that pasting an image directly to the Editor is an easier way to attach files. We understand that such a feature will improve the overall component functionalities. We also know that this might cause inconvenience and frustration in some of our clients, and this is justified.

The jQuery suite is developed for more than 8 years and is still actively updated and enhanced with new widgets. Our long term goals include providing the same Kendo UI for Angular features as most of the Kendo UI for jQuery widgets, but this will take time to accomplish. We have already released Angular components, matching most of the widgets, but this is still a work in progress.

However, there is no specific target of votes that need to be reached - sometimes requests with fewer votes are granted and the respective features and components are released before such with more votes.

Our project manager and the management team are monitoring all requests, and are choosing items for our roadmap, based on multiple factors, including the demand, the estimated developer resources that will be required, and the overall impact and business value of providing the enhancement/component.

What I could suggest at this point, in order to achieve the desired functionality is to integrate the Kendo UI for jQuery Editor in an Angular app until the Angular counterpart includes the desired feature as built-in:

Pasting image directly to editor is very much user friendly. These days users are so much used to it as native html or jQuery version of these components provides these functionality on any major site. Our client raises complaints that why we do not provide this functionality and we need to provide justification about what was the reason we selected Telerik components for their product vs open source version components. Ultimately they are the one who spends money. I hope you understand the situation we are in.

Hi Thomas,

Currently pasting an image inside the Editor is in our backlog - this means that we have considered it and will implement it at some point in the future, but I cannot give an estimate as it is not of high priority for now.

As for easy resizing of images - we have not yet considered such a feature. If it is important for you, please submit a separate feature request for it. Having different features in different threads helps us organize and prioritize our work accordingly.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Petar

Hello Petar,

you wrote that you track this request so I have the same question. The request is from 1 year ago and I cannot find any progress. Is there any further information/planning whether this feature will be implemented in the near future? We need this because for our customers this is a show stopper. They want easy image handling within the editor with copy&paste and easy resizing features...

Regards,
Thomas

Thank you for the request. We will track it and based on the customer demand, we will consider implementing it in a future version of the Editor.
