Fully integrates media manager into editing interface, avoid having to reload it separately in thickbox pop-up, suitable for precise image control.

== Description ==

Faster Image Insert aims to do just one thing:

**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, no interface blocking, quite similar to the uploader in WordPress 1.5*
- *starting 1.2.0, this plugin ships with function to insert multiple images  in gallery & library mode.*
- *initial load time is still limited by server, WordPress POST data as you insert image from Media Manager; it's not fully client-sided*

This plugin is designed for:

* screenshot lovers - movie, game or anime reviews etc.
* how-to gurus - cooking guide, hardware DIY guide etc.
* photo loggers - author can comment below each photos.
* bloggers that have been shouting "run, manager, RUN!" to their thickbox loading screens.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

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

Yes, except less annoying (I hope).

= Would you mind slowing down releases ? =

fine, ver1.2.0 should be good for a while, until new bugs show-up ;-)

= Why reset my image-listing order ? =

It's advisable to press "save all changes" button after re-ordering images, "insert selected images" only outputs to editing panel in listing order, but won't save them in database.
