I noticed when I dragged and dropped an image from the desktop it auto-uploaded and showed up in the preview, but when I dragged an image from another browser window it did nothing.

1. is there a way to turn that on in settings?
2. is there a way to use imgur for image uploads?
3. is there a way to have drag and dropped images from another browser window turn into an image tag?
