Paste images directly into WYSIWYG editor without manual upload
Screenshots normally require you to do a print screen command, then open your image editor, edit as needed, save the file, then upload to the server and select the image in the WYSIWYG editor that you have uploaded.
The ability to past images such as screenshots directly from the clipboard would save tons of time.
If any editing of screenshots is needed it can be done in an image editor but then simply select and copy from the image editor and past into the WYSIWYG still removes the extra steps of uploading and selecting.

Flash, Java etc seem like they would increase security risk of application. I haven't experienced any problem with having images saved as files by client then using text editor to upload as necessary. Or, allowing the more experienced to batch upload through FTP

in addition to this, users should be able to recover lost images/image directories. It is really painful to accidentally delete a folder without knowing what was inside (to be able to recover). Copy pasting images directly form clipboard would be awesome.

William, thank you for your suggestion. It seems to me that SnagIt is a powerful tool, but we would like to implement support of a Free tool first, because this is more affordable for our clients. Also integration with a commercial software may be considered as "hidden fees". Do have any freeware suggestions, other than Mazio?

I would love to use Snagit as the program that we could paste images from

There are several possible solutions to this: java applet that supports copy-pasting of images, flash application with this function, or integration with a desktop application like Mazio that helps you to capture images and upload them to KB. Please tell us which idea is better for you, or add your own solution suggestion.
