Faster Image Insert Plugin

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.

Does the media manager behaves the same in meta-box ?

Yes, except less annoying (I hope).

Why my items’ ordering are not saved ?

Remember to press “save all changes” button after re-ordering images. “Insert selected images” only outputs in listing order, NOT by ordering numbers.

Why are blank spaces/lines not saved ?

WordPress’ default editor TinyMCE strips consecutive blank spaces/lines; the action is performed when saving or switching edit mode. This plugin tries to work around it by sending

 <p>&nbsp;</p> 

Conflicts with other plugins ?

Following plugins are known to either modify the way data is sent to editor, or use a non-default gallery view; with these plugins you may not be able to insert multiple images at once or using our mass editing feature; other FII functions should continue to work.
