Request: Use or copy Caption Text from WP Media Library #10

Open avluis opened 9 years ago

avluis commented 9 years ago

WordPress' Media Library has a few fields for Title, Caption, Alt Text and Description. I can think of this: the Caption text field is pre-filled with the Caption from the Media Library, the field disabled for editing and a checkmark next to it to enable editing. If there is nothing filled in the Caption from the Media Library, then the Caption text field is blank and enabled for editing, with the checkmark disabled. If the author fills in the Caption value for that image in the future, then the checkmark will allow them to quickly link the values together and use the value from WP Media Library Caption field.

Please let me know if this needs clarification. I can provide a design draft (drawing, mockup, etc) to make it easier to understand.

I'm following what you're saying: have the plugin default to the values set for the selected image inside the Media Library. It's a good suggestion, and an idea that's been on my radar for implementation for a while. Thanks for reminding me of it and documenting it!

I just want to say that's a great idea and I'd love to see it implemented soon.

Thanks! It's still on my list of things to implement. I just need to find some time to work on it :smile:
