Has anybody any suggestions as to how I get drag from a web browser to a

TRichViewEdit to work, when the dragged item contains an image?

I have included the rvHtmpImporter version 0.0017, and on dropping the item

into the TRichViewEdit component, TRVRTFReader.InsertExternalPicture raises an

exception because it cannot find a file. The file path consists of the path to

the directory where my program is executing from, and joined onto it is

"http://...." which is the URL of the image on the web page which I am dragging.

Is there some setting or configuration I need to do to make this work?

Doing a copy, and a paste-special (HTML) is a partial workaround, but I would

like drag/drop to work too.

Thanks in advance for your helpful suggestions.
