Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Drag & Drop Featured Image Improved is a plugin made to save you time when setting a featured image. What it does is simple, it replaces the default “Set featured image” metabox with a new one containing a Plupload drop area just like the one found in the media uploader. Based on Jonathan Lundström work and improved a little bit.

Since it uses the default WordPress functions it will compress all sizes just as the regular upload method would and it also respects any custom image sizes.
