When you try to configure Media Bulk Upload for the image-bundle of the file-entity which comes with the media-module, following error-message is shown:
"There are no supported fields (media, image, file) assigned to bundle image." Why is that? Why i have to create a custom image-entity with an image or media field attached to it instead of being able to use the file/image entity of the media module?

flatfeat CreditAttribution: flatfeat commentedI just saw this message myself. You don't have to create a new file type (although you could). You just have to add a media, file or image field to one of the existing file types on your site. Then you can select that bundle at admin/config/media/bulk_media_upload

rooby CreditAttribution: rooby commentedThe workaround mentioned in #1 is a workaround. It's not really an acceptable solution.
It would be better to work with file entities properly without the need for an extra file field.
[edit] Plus does that actually work? The file_entity wouldn't have a proper file, only the one attached to the additional file field.

nimzie CreditAttribution: nimzie commentedHas anyone come to a better solution for this? Creating random nodes in order to accommodate not being able to create files on the fly via bulk method is a real cramp. On a site with a lot of content (nodes) this adds a LOT of clutter to the file base.
I simply need a venue for my client to be able to upload a bunch of images to the system and then be able to pick them while creating the actual nodes.
Any thoughts?
