Pasting versus uploading

[Mike Dewhirst]

Users need to include an image of a molecular structure in a model so it
can be shown on a report the system produces. They are small enough so I
can restrict the size without bothering them.

I have implemented a TinyMCE-lite HTMLField for pasting an image and
that works. I have also used Django ImageField (and FileField) in other
projects.

What is the best approach?

ImageField is easier on the database (PostgreSQL) but pasting is easier
on the users.

Is there a third way?

Thanks for any advice

Cheers

Mike

Obrigado Thiago, Uppy looks really brilliant but I have a problem with
javascript. I know I should bite the bullet and really get into it but I
fear my teeth would not survive.

I don't know for sure but I think it would be easier to build a single
purpose uploader for a known small image file using Django/python (which
I have done previously) than to restrict Uppy using a language in which
I would definitely mess up. I'm also a bit worried about TinyMCE.

My real concern is security ... What could possibly go wrong if I permit
drag and drop or pasting and storing the result in the database versus a
controlled file upload using Django ImageField?

Thanks

Mike
