Alt Text When Dragging a Group of Images

I need an HTML editor that will let me drag a number of images from the Windows explorer to the editor. I need for the editor to pick up the images' dimensions and use the images file name as the alt text.

The trial version of the HTML editor does the former. Is there any way to get the alt text in drag and drop?

I don't think so. I have actually never tried - or thought of trying.

You can drag images into your webpage from windows explorer with the html editor and it puts the alt" " in the html code but you have to fill in the actual text.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Yes. But I'm doing 20 - 30 images at a time. I have an editor that will do use the file names as alt text - e.g., my-image.jpg gives me "my-image" as alt text. But it omits the image dimensions. I'm trying to find an that will do both.

Thanks for the response.

I like putting the dimensions in the css myself.:)

I used to do all that including entering both alt and title. But my severe repetitive stress problems force me to use software that enables me to minimize keystrokes. Especially on the many days I process a couple of hundred images.

Thanks for the responses. I'll continue my search.
