more fields like in FileField
other fields attached to the field, like image title text, image alt text, description, additional custom fields new functionality? merge something in? delegate to Fields module?

haven't actually looked much into this. is it already possible? maybe i just had a brain fart.

Have you seen admin/config/media/file-types ... there you may add additional fields. The values could be set under admin/content/media. To use these values in views you need an relationship with files. There should also be an more easy way to edit the media data (an alternative to admin/content/media).

The guys from http://www.drupalgardens.com have done some interesting work - together with the media_gallery module.

With file_entity and the 2.x branch it is now possible to add fields to files and then edit the field data after they are added with the media browser widget.

@arthurf, could you please explain how to add fields to files with 2.x branch?

Thanks a lot!

we can create fields for the media files, with media 2.x and file entity 2.x...
however, you don't have an easy way to place these fields on <img src="" title="" alt="" /> tags - probably only through the field .tpl files.

anyway, you go to admin/structure/file-types/manage/image/fields
and there you can add fields for media files, just like for content types.

see this issue:
