    Crops, Image Cropper, Media Type and Upload Media plus button bug

    Hi,

    I need your help to solve a typical images crop situation.

    Let's take for example a site where you need to define 30 types of crops, I have 3 ways:

    1) I create 30 crop alias inside the Image Cropper base data type. Pros: fast and working. Cons: if the editor edits the image he finds 30 differents crops

    2) I create a new data type image cropper for different crops and use it into the document type. Pros: clean solution. Cons: the system doesn't put image into media section so if you want to reuse it you need to load it several times.

    3) I create a new media type, with a new image cropper with few crops, create a new media type folder and manage the creation of folders and media with permissions.

    es: media type: article image with few crops, article folder. Children permission on article folder: article folder and article image. Into Article document type I put an article image picker.

    All nice, but there is a bug that exists from several versions: if I click to insert an image from content, the upload sidebar opens on the right and if you click on the + button to create a new folder the system create a fucking base "Folder" not "Article Folder" ignoring all permissions of custom media types =(

    Thanks

    +1 to this question, was about to post the same thing and i'm glad i searched for existing issues first

    Without this fixed i may need to temporarily use css to force that convenient + button in content area to not exist and make editors setup folders in media folder before uploading :(

    Hi Philips, that's right! on a old project we too had hidden the + link using a css inside a plugin folder! I forgot about it, moreover I don't remember why we never did it again =)
