Description

@andrewserong

Similar to how template parts can be edited from within the post and site editors, add a state of the editor that allows for editing media items, both cropping and metadata (i.e. updating caption, description, alt-text).

Earlier design:

Current status:

Available as an experiment in Gutenberg:

It can be accessed directly via a URL. I.e. in the following, replace the id at the end with the id of an item in your media library: http://localhost:8888/wp-admin/admin.php?page=media-editor-wp-admin&p=/media-editor/355

Features as of now:

To-do

  • Add in / share the media modal cropping tools in this UI (footer controls)
  • Add Save / Cancel buttons
  • Update actions for media items
  • Integrate with either the post list or block editor
