You could add the fields to the default image media type instead and simply use the standard Desktop Media Uploader and then add another Image Media Type for the ones without the extra info?
I did think about doing it but the installation is in a corporate environment with multiple installations on it so I don't want to adjust the base Image media type to save confusion on the other installations.
I did this on the frontend, but maybe you could do something like a dashboard control or something in Umbracos backend? Link to blogpost My example uses the Uploadify plugin where you can set which types you want to upload - i.e. pdf, jpg, jpeg, gif etc etc..
All the best,

Edit: As you can see in my blogpost, all the logic for uploading the media file happens in a generic handler, so that's where you could create your custom code for different mediatypes and so on, so forth :-)
Bulk Image Uploader
Hi all,
I know this topic has been covered many times, but I'm looking for a bulk image uploader that lets me define the media type of the uploaded image.
The new media type is identical to the "Image" type apart from a new tab with a text string.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried a few (Gecko Uploadify and ZIP uploader) but none seem to offer the varying media types!
Thanks,
Dan

I think you can see my dilemma now!
