In reply to: [Enable Media Replace] Great plugin – maybe an easy missing featureHi Pedro,
Thanks for your quick answer and for the great work on the plugin.
Here are two concrete examples: 1. Image versioning during a project
During a website build, I might use several versions of the same visual:
image-v0→ first draft used in several mockup pagesimage-v1→ updated version used on some of those pages (or othe images for placing purpose)image-vF→ final retouched image
While waiting for the final file, I may already have
v0andv1spread across different pages.When
vFis ready, what I’d like to do is:- Replace all instances of
v0byv1, then - Replace all instances of
v1(which now covers all previous uses ofv0) byvF
In the end, only
vFshould remain in use, and ideally only one image should stay in the library for that visual. The previous versions shouldn’t be duplicated or kept active unless I decide to keep them.2. Replacing an old project image with a newer one
Later on, I might update my portfolio and decide that:
- An old project image used in several places on the site
- Should be replaced by a more recent image that is already uploaded elsewhere in the Media Library (for another page or project)
In this situation, I don’t want to upload a new file again.
I’d like to:- Choose an existing image from the Media Library
- Tell Enable Media Replace: “Use this one instead, everywhere this old image is currently used.”
So it’s really a replacement of usage, not a new upload.
That’s exactly the kind of feature I’m looking for: a way to consolidate and clean image usage by switching all references from one media item to another already in the library.
Have a great day,
Jonathan
