Not completely. You can enter /images/image.png instead of an image id in the article image field.

Re: [textile] textile image tag
Thank you Els. :)
@Steve – I don’t disagree that there are a number of areas that need improving as far as image management/handling is concerned, but those 20 or 30 page long threads discuss all sorts of things, not just the use of image numbers which was the subject of this thread. Also, just because a thread is 20 or 30 pages long doesn’t mean that there are 20 or 30 pages worth of different people commenting. Generally there is a core element who bandy ideas around with new people chipping in occassionally. I still think we are talking about the few rather than the majority as far as this thread’s subject is concerned.

Wouldn’t this increase the confusion for non experienced users?… Steve, I agree with you that the overall image handling done in txp definitely needs a massive overhaul but the alternative should be idiot-proof. Appending a suffix might be more confusing for some to knowing out from the start that their image names are replaced with numbers… Just thinking….

Re: [textile] textile image tag
In my opinion the image handling process is definitely TextPatterns Achillies heel. Which is a shame because other than this is awesome!
And any solution would definitely need to be simple. Many end users of the system aren’t web designers or developers and so it needs to be really clear and intuitive. The same criteria for any piece of UI design.
