From the developer
David Frank's own description of Faster Image Insert, lightly tidied.
Faster Image Insert aims to do one thing right:
Moves built-in Media Manager down in a meta-box, right next to main editing panel, so you have full control of the manager: opens it, makes it collapse or hidden from the interface completely.
Best of all, is now you can insert image(s) much faster, and precisely where you want them to be.
- No thickbox, using metabox with zero interface blocking, quite similar to the uploader in WordPress 1.5
- No hacking, default upload interface is not affected, only enhanced.
- Insert multiple images in gallery & library mode, without using shortcode; can also insert images in reversed order, and even control spacing between images.
- Mass info editing, change title/captions in one-shot.
- Smart switches: set default uploader, disable captions.
This plugin is designed for:
- Screenshot lover – movie, game or anime review etc.
- Howto guru – cooking guide, hardware DIY guide etc.
- Photo logger – author can comment below each photo.
- Blogger that has been shouting “run, thickbox, RUN!” to the loading screens.
