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

== Description ==

Faster Image Insert aims to do one thing right:

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**, using metabox with zero interface blocking, quite similar to the uploader in WordPress 1.5
- **No hacking**, default upload interface is not affected, only enhanced.
- **Insert multiple images** in gallery & library mode, without using shortcode; can also insert images in reversed order, and even control spacing between images.
- **Mass info editing**, change title/captions in one-shot. (experimental)
- **Smart switches**: set default uploader, disable captions & toggle all items.
- Initial load time is still limited by server, because the default media manager is not fully client-sided.

**This plugin is designed for**:

* Screenshot lovers - movie, game or anime reviews etc.
* Howto 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, this version should be good for a while, until new bugs show-up ;-)

= Why my items' ordering are not saved ? =

Remember to press "save all changes" button after re-ordering images. "Insert selected images" only outputs in listing order, NOT by ordering numbers.

= Why reversed ordering starts with the number 500 ? =

It's just a number, I figure 500 should be enough for everyone; but you're free to change it. Note that ordering number can be negative, you may use drag-and-drop to set them back to positive numbers.

= Why doesn't media manager load ? =

Navigate to its options page, Try setting it to use html-based iframe, that should resolve the problem; otherwise you should look into possible plugin conflicts.

= Conflicts with Custom Field Template plugin ? =

One way to workaround this problem is to enable the multiple image insert option in CFT's settings page. If you don't feel like hacking wordpress core, media-manager popup **within** CPT meta-box will cease to load, but other function should work as usual.
