I have many images on my site and Image Assistant shows me a long list of images without sorting and filtering. And there are too difficult to find image that I want to add

I glad to see any filtering functional with list of all images in site. For example:

  1. add virtual subfolders to "Browse images" dropdown list and set it when I add new image.
  2. list images by image gallery taxonomy (select gallery term from tree when listing images).
  3. list images by any taxonomy term (select vocabulary and term when listing images).
  4. list only attached to current node images (with Upload image module I can attach Images to nodes as 'Image' content type).

Very usefull features from my examples, I think, will be 3 and 4.
Does something like this planned to do in this (or maybe in another) module?

+1 for this feature as well.

I have another suggestion for handling sites with hundreds or thousands of images (which is what I'm trying to figure out right now!): Allow the user to specify the NID of an existing image node instead of browsing all existing images' thumbnails. Additionally, a lookup field that references the image node's title would be more user-friendly and just as powerful.

Use nodereference autocomplete module (nr_autocomplete) and restrict it to nodes of image type. It's actually what I've been using and it works great when you need to specify an image for a node. Still doesn't solve the problems of using the image assist popup for inserting images into node bodies when you have thousands of images.

The module already supports browsing image galleries separately (#2 in the original post). I think this provides a good method for finding the right image, even when you have a large number of images on your site. Isn't #1 and #3 more or less satisfied by this too? #4 is a nice idea but a little trickier as img_assist currently only deals with image nodes – not attached images.

I can see that Todd's proposal would be very useful in some cases. I suggest you submit a new issue with a detailed suggestion describing what this interface would look like and how it would coexist with the current image browser. (I'm thinking there could be a freetext search field in the top section of the popup window where you could search for titles, nids an maybe even body text content. The results would appear as image thumbnails below. Is this what you're suggesting?)
