Bugs

 * Loader image has bad transparency when used in the yellow-ish jquery UI modal box (white creepy edges)

Bugs / Feature requests

 * [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/mCL7EVwwoDYi/#R Open tickets in Phabricator]


 * Edit inserted images


 * Make images in Wysiwyg mode visual


 * Add the image to featured picture instead of directly in the post (using post_image)


 * Implement this using checkbox, not as an insert in textarea. Use a hidden custom field (_pluginname_key), using some magic to fill wp_post_thumb (no overwrite)


 * Add to [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add/ WordPress plugin directory], blog about it, do more PR :)
