Description
-
tested under debian - drracket version 7.9 with nemo-file-manager
- I was told that under version 8 it doesn't get better
-
when dragging an image from a file-manager and drop it in the editor-part of drracket
- the image gets loaded as text
-
when using ctrl-c (or right-click copy) on the image in the file-manager and using ctrl-v (or right-click paste) in the editor-part of drracket
- I get the path of the image in the editor
-
when opening the image on my computer then right-click copy on the image and then paste it in the editor
- it works

Research direction
Reproduce the drag-and-drop and clipboard cases described in the DrRacket editor, comparing them with copying an image from an image viewer. Trace the editor's image and clipboard handling, then make image insertion from a file manager behave like the working copy-and-paste case. Done means dragging or copying an image into the editor inserts the image rather than text or its path.
