Feature request: indicate photos already inserted

Travel Forums System Talk Feature request: indicate photos already inserted

Jenniferklm suggested this over in another thread, and as I've seen lots of photo-heavy blogs, I figure it's a great idea that's worth amplifying:

Another improvement. I might suggest if I could that would be helpful for people like me who write fairly long blogs with a lot of photos, would be to have some indication that you have already posted a specific photo to a blog, like a tick mark by the photo in the upload list. The photos seem to upload in a random kind of order and I am scrolling up and down looking for particular ones and sometimes lose track of ones I have already put into a blog.

Since inserting a photo just adds the code for it to the textarea, I can imagine all kinds of hard to implement edge cases if you're trying to account for people then manually editing / deleting that code; but maybe all of that can just be forgotten about, with the feature just being a really lightweight "already clicked this" marking?

(N.B. I finally figured out why I'm so resistant to posting issues over at github - besides the whole being owned by Microsoft and thus being tracked/marketed if/when being active over there. It's offsite, out of sight and mind, and I really like that when I post something here in the forum, that gives everyone who's active on the forum the chance for an immediate look at it, with the ability to comment, chime in, etc. I wouldn't expect more than an absolutely tiny percentage of the people who read this to actively visit another site for the same, let alone one which is as techie-focused as github is.)

I used to mark my photos as I inserted them - I added an x to the name of the photo. So Image100 became xImage100. That way all the photos I had used went to the bottom of the list on my computer. I also marked photos I did not wan to use with an n.

I might consider adding it to the new editor where the photo inserting is a bit smarter. Doing it within a post is not so hard. Having the checkbox also keep track of photos inserted into previous entries would be harder, though certainly not impossible.

Might I suggest another enhancement.
On the insert picture dialogue, there is a column for "Uploaded". Can a column for "Date picture taken" be added? This would make it easier to find / sort pictures when inserting them into a blog.
Thanks,
