Yes, but my time is very limited as I'm away for 7 or so months on holiday before resetting up a house, job, etc from scratch.

Patches or co-maintainers welcome!

It may also pay to track these projects as well.

http://drupal.org/project/fieldentity
http://drupal.org/project/combofield

Dependent on #942310: Field form cannot be attached more than once

It doesn't solve the issue, but I found another solution : I used field-collection module, created a field-collection with an image-field, and a long text field.
The field collection items (image + txt) can be then used in Views, like images+description.

I could use this solution with views-slideshow module, it works perfectly, and can even be extended with more txt fields, attached files etc.. 'related' to the image because they are in the same field-collection...

Hope this can help :)

Would you say that this solution is as good or better than the existing functionality of this module? If so, then this issue will become about a migration strategy and not a upgrade path!

For my situation it is as good or better, because I start to be used to work with field-collection and views, and i often have to attach various informations, files etc.. to images and diaporamas.
In another hand I think imagefield-extended module provide a more easy way to add a simple description field wich can use a wysiwyg editor. And in my experience, this is a very common feature graphic-designers request for theming images descriptions...

The field-collection solution seems to work great, but it's not an obvious way for the new drupalers :)

It's maybe something that should go in core sometime : a txt-area description field for images, allowing use of html and wysiwyg editor..
What do you think ?

I think that the core developers will want to keep core fairly clean, adding a rich text area automatically means that there is at least one more configuration setting and one more db column.

Hi Alan

There is another issue about the image description field and drupal 7&8 here : http://drupal.org/node/1067620

There is an interesting new module File Entity, http://drupal.org/project/file_entity. This looks like a very promising replacement. Any feed back from users about this one?

There are multiple contenders that provide this functionality in Drupal 7, so I am officially calling the end of the road for this module (File entities and field collections come to mind). Sorry.
