Hi, What kind of simpler image upload do you have in mind? Could you provide some examples/screenshots/mockups?

For example photo upload with drag and drop and preview, like in google my business. You can do it using JS additional libraries and write it yourself (depending on library you can go deep enough to become mad and use internal blob/base64 logic, which is really irritating to understand by first time).

Also there should be ability to search images using select2 pattern instead of simple list.

Hi, Drag & drop upload - I can see how that could be useful. I think that the core of Photologue should remain relatively simple. If you add too many features, it restricts users from customising it to their specific needs. However if there's a way to "plug in" extra functionality - for example drag and drop - which could be switched on with a setting then I think that it could be a useful addition to this project. If someone wants to prepare a PR for such a feature I would be very interested.
