Starting from the *next* release of XMLmind XML Editor, it's possible to
bind application event "drop-image" to a command in order to bypass the
dialog box normally displayed when you drop a file onto an image view.
Simple example which works for XHTML, DITA Topic, DocBook or any
document type in which the source of an image is specified using an
attribute:
---
<binding>
<appEvent name="drop-image" />
<command name="putAttribute" parameter="%{attribute} %{url}" />
</binding>
---
In your case, a simple macro-command wrapped around putAttribute should
solve your problem.

after using and adapting XMLMind for several years now, we still run
into one handling sequence that is still bothering us a little.
1. When inserting a pic file via drag & drop from a windows explorer
folder, there is always the position source and target screen
popping up like this:
2. Since most our pics are stored on a different server than the XML
files (and we do not need relative path names and do not want them
to be copied anywhere else), we always alter this screen in a way
that the upper and lower fields are the same and they are used as a
reference:
3. Since I assume that for some/most of the users the presettings you
implemented are sufficient/correct, here is my suggestion for
improvement:
Add an option in the preferences of XXE that allows to select
whether to insert pics by copying or referencing and if the letter
is chosen, just take the path of the target position and do not show
the screen above any more when dropping files from the explorer window.
Does this seem sensible for you? Or this there even now a better
handling procedure to avoid this copying and pasting procedure?
