Button for "Add Image" for "Pictures from File Set"

Permalink
To add an image one now has to select "Custom Slideshow" from the dropdown, then add an image, then go back to "File set" before saving the edits. It would be more intuitive to have an "Add image" button for either option, to avoid inadvertently adding the image to the wrong set.

It would also be helpful to have a Browse option when inserting an image during editing of "Content".

In regards to your first paragraph, are you referring to the "slideshow" block? My understanding is that you must choose either a custom slideshow (where you add images one at a time), OR a File Set (where all additions/subtractions must be made from the File Manager). If you switch from File Set to Custom Slideshow, add an image, then switch back to File Set, you're going to lose that custom image you added (because it's either/or, not a combination of both).

As for your second paragraph, I assume you're referring to the "Content" block -- you can do this already: just click "Insert Image" from the row of links at the very top of the editing window.

Hope that helps.

No, it doesn't help. The way I described I can upload an image under "Custom Slide WShow", then switch to "File Set", and there assign the image I just uploaded to the file set I want it to be in. It is just a hassle to have to do that. Try adding images one at a time to file sets and you will see what I mean.

As for the second, I already know I can click on insert image, but then I have to type in the URL or pathname of the file. It is so much easier to have a file browser window pop up, let me wend my way through my directory trees until I find the file I want, perhaps examining a thumbnail while I am at it to make sure it is the right one, then select it and have it upload and insert.

You can upload lots of files at once: go to the file manager, then click the "Upload Multiple" link to the right of the "upload" button. Click the "Add Files" button, then add a bunch of files, then click the "Upload" button. Once the upload is complete, you will be prompted to (among other things) add these to a file set (all in one fell swoop so you don't have to do it for each individual image you uploaded in that batch).
If you already have the images uploaded, you can just go to the file manager and check the box next to each one you want to add to the file set, then click on the little dropdown that has the two stars in it (**) at the top of the file list, and choose "Sets". Then you can check the box of the file set you want to add all of the selected images to (again, all in one fell swoop).

As for the second, I had the wrong name for the link (sorry about that) -- it's "Add Image". See attached screenshot for what I'm referring to -- this is what you click to bring up the File Manager instead of having to type in the URL to the image.

Hope this time it actually helps :)
