The Snapshot Drag & Drop Uploader provides an enhanced uploader where users can edit file title and description and even edit and annotate png and jpeg images before uploading. Uploadable file types can be configured by file extension and are not limited to just image files, any configured file type can be uploaded.
The snapshot drag & drop tool is opened by clicking the drag & drop button. The the drag & drop icon will go red and the drag & drop tool will immediately open in an overlay.
Simply drag images from your device or PC onto the overlay and they will be shown with associated tool buttons ready for editing or upload. (The tool may also be configured for automatic upload. In this case images are uploaded immediately they are dropped onto the overlay without any opportunity to edit text or image.)
The drag & drop tool is now managed by a combination of a tool buttons associated with each drag-dropped image and a toolbar shown in the overlay. The actual buttons shown depend on how the tool is configured.
