Would it be possible to not include the attachment extension when automatically editing the alt attribute?

This can be disabled in options
"Keep extension in new filename for ALT attribute for renamed inserted attachments"

I have noticed that sometimes the alt attribute is not changed when renaming the attachment, it shows the previous name, could you take a look at it? @Painbaker

Should be fixed in last patch

I think the error continues :(

Try checking the browser console when this happens - if there are any errors there.

It is also possible that attribute is not updated because of addon conflict due to custom parameters. The attributes in the message is searched by a regular expression, but it may not work in your case.
Please send me what your ATTACH tag looks like in problem messages.

I've sent you a private message with the details. I've also tried sending you a video showing the error, but it won't let me attach an mp4.
 
Hi Painbaker,

I'm very interested in this add-on but I have a few questions.

On my forum images on the board are automatically mirrored in the gallery. With this add-on, if I change the filename on the board, in a post, will the filename of the mirrored image in the gallery also change, or does that need to be done separately?

Having the ability to change file names in the Attachment Browser is very nice indeed! Are batch edits possible in there? That would be bloody brilliant so that when someone posts 8 pictures of a red squirrel I don't have to do every single one of them separately.

Also, I'm a bit concerned about conflicting add-ons. As you know I have your EXIF add-on, and I also have Naz' "Mirrored Images" add-on that converts embeds to attachments. I'm just a bit worried the three of them won't play nice together. What do you think?

At the moment, the add-on only changes the attachment name, not the content associated with it. I will add this in the next update.

There is no batch update for attachments in XF out of the box to add this feature it based on this.
I will look into what can be done within the scope of my add-on.

If this third-party add-on converts images into regular attachments, I don't think there should be any conflicts here.

That would be great.

Okay, then I'm going to just download it and install it, see how it goes.
 
I see that the license is just for one year. Does that mean that after I year I can't use it any more unless I pay the renewal price? Or does it relate to possible updates?

The license expiring only affects your ability to download new updates
 
Hi Painbaker!

I've been very busy making changes to my forum but today I installed the add-on. It works just fine and it's great. But I am getting the odd server error, see below.

I thought I'd report it.

Code: 
    ErrorException: Template error: [E_USER_WARNING] Cannot call method isIgnoring on a non-object (NULL) src/XF/Template/Templater.php:1267

Also, I'm wondering if it would be possible to position the little pencil on the thumbnails elsewhere, say in the lower left or lower right corner. It is now frightfully close to the trash bin and sure enough I just accidentally deleted an image. And once gone, it's gone, can't retrieve it.
 
PhineasD said:
Or a popup to confirm the deletion.

Yes, that would work too. Right now it's too easy to delete a pic.

And there is another problem I ran into today. I received DM's from members whose pics were gone from their posts. Turned out the thumbnails were still there, but the photos were missing from the post, so I just inserted them again. It happened in just a few posts, but this is bad. I can't edit the titles and then having to check if the images are still present in the posts.
