Using CS 2.1

I see that CS 2.1 allows you to now directly link to an image hosted on a web server... What will it take to get it so that you can directly insert images from your local system and have them automatically saved onto the server when posting. It is currently very inconvenient to have to post the images externally, or upload them to a gallery, and then link to them in your post.

I see that CS2.1 also gives you the ability to add an image to a gallery directly from the Content Selector window (provided permissions have been granted), but this is still not the same thing.

Many other blog and forum products allow the users this convenience. Is this a planned feature for a future version of CS? If not, may I make my request that it be added as a feature in the next release?

Greg,

This has definitely been requested before... Smile

Incidentally, one of the really cool things about Windows Live Writer is that it will automate this functionality.  Select a post, and it will automatically upload it to your site and embed it in your post.

Search the Daily Blog and you'll see some posts on this very topic.  I realize that it's not the same as having the functionality native in CS, but it works...
