You can control drag and drop when placing images in article.

Select whether the crop dialog box should appear by default when dragging wires/archive images

In a new installed GN4 system, the crop dialog box appears by default when dragging wires/archive images on an article. You can invert such behavior and have the default drag and drop "as-is", with no crop dialog box.

To do it, in the <Dict node of the EditorialConfig, add the line:

<Item Name="glblinkwithoutcrop" Value="-1" />

_important To make the changes available to GN4 client workstations after modifying EditorialConfig, make all users to log out and log back on to GN4 client software. IISreset is not needed.

Note: it is not recommended to place images without crop dialog box, as there are issues with images with non-unique titles. Moreover, if you do not display the crop dialog box, you cannot select the crop destination.

Press and hold CTRL key to invert the current behavior

Whichever setting you use for the default crop, the CTRL key, pressed and held while dragging images over article, inverts the behavior.

If the crop dialog is enabled by default: holding CTRL key pressed, images are added without displaying crop dialog box.

If the crop dialog is disabled by default: holding CTRL key pressed, images are added with crop dialog box.

Notes

There are known issues if you add more images with the same title. See Dropping multiple wire or archived images for details.
