yoroy commentedExploring alternatives to the current metadata field mapping UI: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bz3wdj7xhdmUOS1ZNThnd0FiMFU
Gist is that when creating a new bundle, because of the current workflow the fields you want to map to can not be present yet, because the mapping ui is in the "Edit" tab, which you must pass first before you can get to the "Fields" tab where you can create new fields.
The video explores how to work around that while keeping the field mapping UI where it is now.
Another route to explore might be to move the whole mapping bit to the "fields" tab instead of the "edit" tab (if technically possible)

gábor hojtsy@yoroy thanks for the video, makes a lot of sense. @phenaproxima is working on making the source field obsolete for new media items, see #2625854: Provide default source_field when creating new media entity bundles. The rest of the items are not yet in the works. We discussed over Slack that the MVP should be to at least only show the mapping items when there is something to map (not for the generic plugin if that is kept at all).

tkoleary commentedPer discussion in UX call the user facing name of the module could be "Media storage" and the library could be "Media finder".
'Media manager' for the media entity suggests the a tool the user manages media with, which is really the library.
Media library sounds like it could be an overload of information whereas 'finder' suggests I'm going to quickly go get something to add.
Another option for media entity could be 'Media handling' which again sounds more like a back end function without a UI (at least to me).

gábor hojtsyI believe all the concerns have been resolved either in #2831274: Bring Media entity module to core as Media module or specifically for the mapping UI are punted to #2836153: Improve metadata mapping UI on Media type form.
