Comment (by tar.gz):

 Currently in [22252] all image files I upload remain "unattached", they
 aren't linked to the post they were uploaded into. If we link them through
 the Media Library, there is no visible indication in the uploader window
 about which images are attached, and which are just part of the global
 library.

 Is this going to change, or do we face a radical break with the way the
 image management was working?

 In the latter case, I see a big issue for "smart" portfolio themes that
 automatically create galleries from the image files attached to a post.

 Also, we would lose the convenience of simply uploading a gazillion of
 images and clicking the "insert gallery" button, which used to create a
 [gallery] tag. Currently with the new uploader we have to toggle each
 single image - that's a gazillion of clicks vs 1 click for the same
 operation.

 Other questions:
 - Will drag-and-drop re-ordering in the uploader window be possible?
 - Same question as billerickson above: what about the title/description
 metadata? Can it be modified from the uploader, or only through the Media
 Library?
