One thing I like about eZP is the way content is considered an object that can be inserted into other content, moved etc. So I put images into the media library and then use those in articles. If I want to replace an image with a better one, I will do just that, and even in multilingual sites the image will be updated in all language instances of all articles containing it. With the current procedure however, I need to separately upload an image, and if I want to replace it after I already created translations, I need to replace it in every language version of every article I used it in. I think this might make things more convenient for authors...

And the proper way to solve this is to move away from using the media / image / file datatypes directly in content related content classes like article to use object relation datatype.

Olaf Fichtner	Wednesday 23 June 2010 12:34:10 am That's good to hear. But I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. Since I do need articles in multiple languages, I usually upload an image to media/images, give it there title and caption for every language, and then insert the image through the OE "insert image" dialog. So, are you saying it would be better to use the "insert object" dialog instead? I only just noticed it also includes media files... :-P
