Leveraging HTML5 for uploadless cropping

[Bastes]

Using this technique:
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/

The cropping could be prepared before the file is uploaded so the image can be processed as soon as it is received by the server, and the user doesn't have to wait for the upload to be complete to start cropping.

wdyt ?

Absolutely, but i am not sure about support on that. I would suggest using the current technique as a fallback then. If you have time, please try to make this as I currently dont have the time, and we will update the site with the new version. Thank you for this suggestion :)

Ok, I'll see what I can make of it and send a pull request ^^

@Bastes, did you ever come up with anything here? I've been working on something similar using dropzonejs.com but not creating something native to this plugin

[Bastes]

@imjared Sorry, I haven't had time yet ^^°

Implemented in pull req. #26
(includes the rotation from @hschimpf)

However, the resize/crop in the end is done server side because the quality of resize in js sucks.
If someone wants to introduce optional dependency to some js library for quality scaling it would be nice

Also, no images will be saved to server throughout the process.

@ptheofan The inlineprocessing /clientsite processing will be part of the next release, we will add some verification's but you will be mentioned as the source for the implementation.
Stay tuned ;-)
