hey

adding the media with WYSIWYG "insert" button does not add the media to the fields
basically, if you add a file with the Media insert button, the file is not added to the respective field list in Fields module (images for example)

sorting the images is a very important thing, for example, to select the most important picture(s) that are selected for Views and Panels

we need to be able to sort files, and we need to be able to delete files, and we need media to be syncronized with Fields.

the way it is assembled, its a huge showstopped for me and my clients.
i rather not have a GUI.

I agree this is a bit of a showstopper for many use cases. For example if i want to allow users to upload photos, display them inline in the text, and then also display a image gallery at the end of the node. Right now this is tricky, and would be much cleaner if the WYSIWYG button had integration with filefields.

I think it is a bit of a tricky UI issue. Perhaps the fielfield gets a new setting "attach all media which is inserted into this node by the media module". I think this could probably be accomplished most simply by doing some regex on the text to find and extract all media references and then saving that to the field in hook_node_save(). However this seems a bit clumsy, and ideally a richer solution would be to immediately process the file.

Also in private file system the image files obligatory need to be associated to a node (and therefore a file field). No way you can use this if you want your content to be protected.

Media 1.x will not be receiving any more features and Media 2.x supports standard Drupal file fields which allows files to be sorted and deleted.

Media inserted via WYSIWYG is completely separate from file fields so they will not be synchronized in any manner.

Devin: if I understand correctly, this is not fixed and it won't be fixed either.

ok!
at least we can disable uploads through WYSYWIG add media button at /admin/config/media/browser (new feature in 2.x) and on the mass importer at /admin/content/file/import (already on 1.x) with a permission!
that's great, thanks =)
