Is there any way (even via custom coding) to get a file upload form that includes the fields assigned to a given file type.

So for example, I want a form to upload only images so I get the upload for whose accepted file types have been limited to image file types and the fields on the Image file type are also included.

Is there potentially a way I can do it or is there no way I'm going to get it to happen in one step (ie. I have to upload the file and then edit to add field data).

Also, I'm happy to use the 7.x-2.x branch if that is necessary to do this and I don't mind if I have to do custom code.

From the end users point of view, having to upload then edit seems unnecessarily convoluted.

Thanks for any pointers in the right direction.

Not sure but isn't this what you're looking for: http://drupal.org/node/1213252#comment-5518862. That functionality is available in the 2.x-dev version.

Correct. #1213252: Allow media file's fields to be edited in a modal or after upload in the media widget is the way to accomplish this in 7.x-2.x. We will not be adding new features to 7.x-1.x as it has been feature locked.

Thanks, I did see that issue and was hoping it would do this or at least give a head start but I wasn't 100% on the features the patch provided. I will try it out.
