305399 - image drag should provide data for real mime type

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, defect, P5)

Description

When dragging an image from gecko to another application, the data should be
advertised in image/png, image/gif, image/jpeg etc format, not just in
application/x-moz-nativeimage format.

Well, if I drag an image into the application Paint or Irfanview, i get the
message that "An error has occurred accessing
C:\DOCUME~1\me\LOCALS~1\Temp\picture.jpg"

or "C:\DOCUME~1\me\LOCALS~1\Temp\picture.jpg" has not been found,

or "C:\DOCUME~1\me\LOCALS~1\Temp\picture.jpg: can't read file header. Unknown
file format".

But I have no problem dragging it into a folder.

I don't think so, no.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe, this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
