 * This plugin adds an “Insert Image” button to the top right corner of the edit
   screen which opens an image browser to select from all previously uploaded images
   and add the appropriate code to the post. If you want, you can consider it a 
   sort of mini-gallery to select the images from.
    Current features include atomagical
   recognization of thumbnails, sorting images by name or by time of last modification
   for easy selection and many more. Apart from that, the new version now supports
   displaying images on multiple pages in a gallery-like style, thus you can handle
   large(r) amounts of images without problems. You can download the plugin [here](http://www.bistr-o-mathik.org/code/wordpress-plugins/).

 * I get the popup window with a list of my images with name, dimension, size.
    
   But between the name and the button, where the thumb should appear, there is 
   nothing. If I pick an image, I get the correct code. Hm… but I’ve a difference
   between the “destination directory” and the “URI of this directory”. Could this
   be the reason?

 * I used the Movable Type plugin that this is loosely based on back when I was 
   using MT 2.64. It had the option to pop up the window in a javascript-created
   popup where the window had no browser menus or buttons and was the exact size
   of the image in the popup. Is it possible to add this to the selections on the
   insert screen? I have modified the script so it opens in a new window via the`
   target="_blank"` attribute, but haven’t had the time to sit down and really examine
   the code to make it XHTML Strict compliant.

 * Great stuff, cheers for the plugin
    All that would be better for me would be 
   an align option. Thanks again Reevo

 * Does anyone know how I can get thumbnails to work if my server just has GD library
   1.x?

 * You can generate them on your own with an external program. If you have an image
   called e.g. “image.png” resize it with your favorite image editing tool (GIMP,
   Photoshop,…) , call it “thumb-image.png” and upload in WP.
    The other option 
   is to change some of the WP core code. The needed changes are explained in [this post](http://wordpress.org/support/index.php?action=vthread&forum=6&topic=4263&page=0#post-1).
   Hope it helps.

 * I get the following error that the plugin can’t find my image directory. Note
   that everything else in WordPress is functioning properly.
    Warning: opendir(/
   home/your/site/wordpress/images): failed to open dir: No such file or directory
   in /home/www/blog/wp-admin/image-browser.php on line 169 Could no open upload
   directory 🙁 Sorry, I can’t find any files in your upload directory 🙁

 * Regarding the above error, here was the problem. You may want to add this tidbit
   to your installation instructions.
    On the Options / Miscellaneous administrative
   menu, a destination directory for file uploads must be specified, *EVEN IF* you
   are not allowing file uploads for your blog and you have this function disabled.

 * Hello everybody,
    I have made some improvements of Image Browser (subdirectory
   browsing, much faster adding of images…) and it can be downloaded from here:

 * Hi everyone..
    This pluggin was working fine till I moved all my website on an
   other server. I had to move the database and everything.. There is no problem
   at all except that I can’t do thumbnails now, like I used to do (I have checked
   the path and the chmod..). When I go on insert image I can see my images but 
   when I click on “create thumbnail” it closes and it goes back to the menu principle
   of wordpress. I’m a bit confused what’s the problem? Does anyone know what I 
   could do to sort this out? thanks..

 * The new server probably doesn’t have GD or ImageMagik installed (it’s what’s 
   used to make the thumbnails).

 * I tried to download stuff for WordPress (including the Image Browser), and nothing
   is happening. A window pops up showing a folder in it and nothing changed in 
   WordPress.
