No replies simply because this problem has existed since day one… it is a coding issue….
For one reason or another, you must set write permissions on the wp-content folder along with the uploads folder (something never done before)
Next, you must then go and change permissions on your themes and plugins folders so the world as wp would know it, cannot write to those folders…
Regarding the theme folder, make certain that if your theme is using a cache (timthumbnailing) that you make that folder within the specific theme folder 777
That should do it… you may find that, you will need to go in and play around with the settings to IE 9.0 (or IE all together) to get the “Drag and Drop” feature to work as, it is not recognized as a trust script (java of some flavor) causing the “Drag and Drop” not to appear at all unless using something less secure e.g. Firefox or Chrome which are a lot “looser” with their scripting actions/permissions….
After all of that, I simply switched back to 3.2.1 for, simply upgrading to have a special “drag and Drop” feature for images/uploads to me was simply not worth risking the security changes…
I guess to wrap it up, as with any WP release, wait until the next series of updates comes out and wait to see which was is the one to use…
Good Luck, Happy Holidays
