+1 for your proposal until we have a better solution. I would avoid comment tab if ever
possible, since it increase the inconveniences already explained. I agree with almost all
other comments, but until we have time for something better, this proposal would be a
first improvement. We should just ensure it does not cause any regression.

Some notes about the comments:
- @GD: In CkEditor when drag&dropping it doesn't open a file explorer
(that's for the simple upload), instead you just drag the image from
Desktop and it inserts it.
I think I was not clear. I know CKEditor does not a file explorer. But you
have to open that kind of application by yourself (in mac it's called
"Finder", on my laptop it's called "Nautilus") if the file you
plan to drag
is not on your desktop (which is the case 99% of the time). That is exactly
what I dislike.
- @Vincent: the inline editing approach (with keeping
the attachments tab
in the same location) doesn't work for cases when we hide the docextra: we
will have the same problem, and we might plan to remove that area for other
skins.
- @Thomas: yes this approach to have attachments tab in edit is problematic
because of the save and other js events, plus to me is still oldish.
So I don't want us to include the attachment tab in edit mode (although it
sounded as a nice option). Instead I would like at least to have an
improved drag&drop for CkEditor (improvement) and in the 'future' to
support drag&drop in wiki mode (new feature).
Thanks,
Caty

Don’t leave
the view page when editing (ie. inline editing) and just
replace the view area by an edit area. And find how to display the page
syntax and include/display references in the UI.

For the sake of the discussion, also note that there’s another option.
The nice part is that it 1) it saves a reload of the UI (good for perf)
and 2) it
feels more snappy and no context switching for the user (better
usability).
If you remember this was a proposal done a very long time ago by
Jean-Vincent
Drean (tried to find the thread again but didn’t succeed).
