Compatibility

The latest version of this plugin is modified and tested only with Redmine 4.0.x

Browser compatibility will be an issue since it is making use of the FileAPI which is still a working draft at time of writing and each browser has it's own implementation of this.

Paste is only supported by WebKit based browsers.

UPDATED

fixed copy paste function for modern firefox and chrome (thanks @thorin)

/UPDATED

Drag and drop should be supported by all modern browsers, tested with Chrome, Firefox and IE.
