Since this module may be used directly from the end users of a site, it makes sence to limit their options when inserring an image. A typical user of my site would write some text and try to insert several images in it. These images should already exists in some gallery-type of nodes. So I would like some OPTIONS to:
1) Suppress the upload image functionality. I already have some structure (galleries) where users put their images and this button only add confusion.
2) Suppress the ImageCache Preset drop-down or limit the list to only some pre-approved presets. A typical site user does not know what ImageCache preset is. And usually I would allow one or two image sizes to be inserted by a regular user. I also have 3-4 presets so the rest of them would only confuse the user.
3) Suppress the Link drop-down. Again these options mean nothing to most end-users.

Hi

Thank you for those great suggestions.

I'm going to put some effort on configuration options soon, so site admins can choose what to show to specific roles.

I think that would improve the module's usability.

I support the suggestion number 1. There is no need to show the Upload button when there is no pre-defined special content type 'ifa_upload'.

I'd like also add another suggestion to improve the module's usability:

4) Add a selection list with terms from the defined vocabulary to narrow the (possibly huge) list of available images in the image browser to only one selected term. In the img_assist module this list has the label "Browse Images:".

Thanks in advance.
