Not quite a bug but a suggestion perhaps? When you upload images to your place you should be able to select from your Media library instead of just selecting from your desktop.

Hi,

not using the regular wordpress media uploader, but plupload for both front end and backend, I believe that would be almost impossible.

Thx

Hello…

This is also my suggestion… Make possible choose to upload from media library or use the default system that you have in GD.

The option to use Media Library is valid because of concerns to SEO,we can insert title, legend, description at images…

And also very important it doessn’t to upload the same photo over and over again…

Thanks again.

Being able to use images from regular media library would be great. The limitation currently keeps me from using some plugins that rely on media library, which is very unfortunate.

Hi,

we avoid using the media library because it creates an attachement entry in the wp_post table for each image entered plus one for each image size.

Considering we created GD to work with hundreds of thousands of listings (if not millions), each potentially with more than one picture, it would make no sense to add that many posts in the database. It would make it huge for no reason.

Thanks
