Hello Seblodders, 

I think I have uploaded my very first screenshot in the forum. I have tried the obvious tab "Medias", and after that the "Media" button in editor toolbar. Frankly speaking, I wonder that I finally managed to get a screenshot in my post at all. I mean, this is not made for the average forum-user, who is seeking for answers or who wants to share a screenshot (i think the most wanted action here).

Please, change and improve the UI and UX.


    Suggestions:
  • Hide Selectboxes if list is empty (no results), Gives focus on upload button.
  • Can it be more smart and dynamic? i.e. if I am in the Forum context, then i don´t need other categories and image-resize styles.
  • Add new button tooltip is out of sight. Please, align it to the left or below the button. 
  • List: Hover over image should have a tooltip and/or a highlight. i.e. thick Border, highlight row background, tooltip "Click to select image..."
  • I thought "Medias tab" is for images as well. Can it be merged? Or at least rename tab to "files/attachments". 

  • --- EDIT ---

    Removed some harsh wording, made some sugestions ;) Sorry, I guess I was too tired and a bundle of nerves.

    Hello James, nice GIF ;) But I really can't agree, sorry.

    I get the idea, that it is a media-manager for all Seblod sections and categories, but I find it too complicated/complex. Somehow too many steps and text hints. It is much more clearer if you already have some images in the list, but on first sight and first try... it is confusing: The 3 select boxes made no sense to me on an empty screen. Funnily, I have never touched it before. I have also tried the "Medias tab" first, because it implies to be THE first option for any kind of attachment. But it was not... images are not allowed and I got an error message. Overall a strange experience.
