Hello, I just wanted to mention, that I’ve used some of the code in your plugin to build a plugin with more features, such as mass detach / change parent. available here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/superslider-media-pop/

Hi Joel,

I ran across your plugin and really like it. However I was looking for some additional functionality (such as being able to bulk change parents using the checkboxes).

However rather than just writing my own version of this plugin, I thought I’d ask first if you accept patches or are looking for additional people to work on this plugin. No sense in having two plugins that do similar things if you’re open to the idea.

If not, no worries. I have no problem doing my own take on this feature. :)

BTW — the theme you’re using is inserting spammy links into your footer.

Thanks for this plugin! I can’t believe WP doesn’t include the functionality already. One tip: set the parent to zero to unattach the file. You can then leave it in the library for later, or use the standard Media Library dialog to find the page you want to attach it to.

Great plugin. Instead of change, it would be perfect if you can ‘add’ the image to a 2nd (and 3rd, 4th, 5th…) post. So that the same image is attached to many posts.

In a way more user friendly, if you can.

Thanks

Great plugin. You know what would be great is if you could do the edit from the Library list instead of having to click into every attachment. That would make bulk changes much easier. Even without this it’s a big help, thanks!

Wordpress 2.9 includes the ability to locate and attach media which are currently un-attached; but it does not include the ability to change the parent of an already-attached file. THANK YOU for this!

You might look into using the “locate post or page” logic that WP 2.9 uses, in addition to being able to specify an ID directly.

Thanks for the plug-in. It solved my problem of how to add and delete existing picture from a gallery.

I’m glad it’s working for you now! I’d like to make it a bit easier to use, but the site it was designed for has thousands of posts, which makes it difficult to do something like a dropdown box. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome.
