[TxMt] Blogging bundle: support for dragging files that are not images?

[Brett Terpstra]

This just needs a couple of tweaks.  First, the upload_name_for_path  
should be rewritten for this purpose to preserve the filename  
whenever possible, replace Upload Image in the dialog box with Upload  
File, and indicate that the text entered will be the text of the  
URL.  The HTML portion that you've included is incorrect and needs to  
be something more like: print %Q{<a href="#{url}">#{alt}</a>}.  Alt  
could come back as just plain text without underscores or anything  
and there's no need for width and height.

Your def is also missing two end statements at the end of it... just  
for reference ;-).

I also think that, for the sake of inclusiveness, the command should  
be scoped to handle just about anything besides images but ask first  
before uploading with a quick yes/no dialog.

I've got a working version right now but am adding some of the above  
ideas. If anyone is interested I'll tweak it up and send it along to  
add to the discussion.
