Always show URLs if external in media replace menu #18992
Comments
I'd love to dig a bit more into why the URL is needed. From an end-user perspective it's 'an image' and where comes from likely won't matter as much. What is the usability reason for this idea, what problem does it solve? |
The URL is there because you have the option to insert media via URL, therefore, local media and remote media can be swapped only by URL. |
If I'm reading this right, you're suggesting that the URL should always be shown when the Replace button is clicked: If that's true, then I agree. -- Its usually helpful to include visuals to help get everyone on the same page right from the get-go without the need for a back-and-forth comment thread. |
Ah ha! Ok that makes sense I was confused it was going to show by the actual image. @draganescu is @shaunandrews correct? |
yes @Tammie that's what this is about. sorry for the confusion, I created this issue too quickly. @shaunandrews I think the second option ... is best but, is there a reason for having the insert from URL option anymore? |
Really just consistency, I imagined that option would do the same thing as Change. I'm not sure I have a strong opinion on this based on the design — when/if we have something to actually use I'm sure I'll develop an opinion. |
Removing design feedback as this now has a direction. |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
#16200 introduces a media replace menu which has the possibility to use URLs for media. These URLs can be external (e.g. an Unsplash picture) or internal (some image from the Media Library). However, there is a difference between the two:
Describe the solution you'd like
When the current media's URL is external the URL viewer should be always open, un-collapsible via the Insert From URL menu item. When the current media's URL is internal the URL viewer should be collapsible and should hide when the menu is toggled.
Props @talldan for the idea.
