====== Media backend ======

...





=====Ideas=====

  * Improve code: well structured, good organised, readable, maintainable. OOP, etc

  * Allow plugins to extend the media manager [[bug>2903|FS#2903]]
    * Extend the media manager interface from plugins without using JS. 
    * Adding rename/move support for (individual) media files in the move plugin or also moving or renaming media namespaces (both is already implemented in the plugin, it just needs a user interface). 
    * Furthermore the tag plugin could be extended to support tagging media files (though that also needs [[bug>474|FS#474]] and a media metadata index). 
    * A first step: 
      * allowing plugins to add additional tabs to the interface 
      * and to wrap the different parts of the interface into events so plugins could add HTML code before or after the different parts 
      * or also replace the main part.
    * Add a file info tab 'backlinks' to media manager as it give insight in the file usage [[bug>2729|FS#2729]]
    * Add a file insert (options/suggestions) tab to media manager [[bug>2730|FS#2730]]

  * Metadata for media files [[bug>474|FS#474]]
    * e.g. tags, author, comments,..

  * Extendable upload form by plugins
    * drag and drop
    * url upload - see also [[bug>1171|FS#1171]]
    * copy&paste - see also [[bug>2865|FS#2865]]

  * Drag-and-drop of media in texteditor, and let it automatically upload and create the syntax.
