Whole canvas as image drop target?

Hi, excited for the project, thank you.

I was working on my first posts, a photo blog from my recent trip, and as I was putting photos in I dropped one too far over to one side, I think, and the browser full-screened the file and unloaded the orkl site. When I went back, the work in progress was gone!

Several ideas here.

  • Make the <body> tag the receiver for image drops
  • At intervals, save a WIP to local storage in case of accidental navigation or browser close.
  • Or have an option for auto-saving... not sure how that works out with DAT and app performance though.

I haven't had time to dive into the code myself but I'll probably fiddle around with making some of these changes myself soon, if feedback here doesn't guide me in an alternate direction.

Hey, thanks for the interest in the project! I've been a bit out of ideas for orkl so thanks for the feedback :smile:

I think saving a WIP to local storage is the best way to avoid these accidents. I wanted to implement something for that for a long time, so now it's time.

I'll also try to do something with the drag-and-drop, but not sure about this, yet.
