Future request – custom field for images. So we can have multiple images per article without image category.
Since TxP version 4.3 you can do this with <txp:images auto_detect="article" etc. />.

Re: glz_custom_fields
I use GugUser’s method for associating multiple images with an article, but that doesn’t replace the need for custom fields in the images tab when you need it. One example where custom image fields would be helpful is when you have a site where the images themselves are the main content and you want to create a standardized information schema for the images without associating every image with its own article.
A friend of mine dealt with this exact issue for a recent site: the images were paintings, and she wanted to add a price to each painting. None of the extant image fields seem appropriate for a price, and creating an article for each image was one step too many for the client to grok. If she could have added a custom field for “price” to the Images tab, her problem would have been solved.

Re: glz_custom_fields
Hmm, cant you just add the price in the “caption” field in the images?

Re: glz_custom_fields
As with any custom field, you could use another field if that field isn’t being used for it’s intended purpose. If you need all the provided fields and more, that’s where custom fields come in.
Currently the article is the only content type that allows custom fields, but I think Textpattern’s core currently allows the other content types to be extended— by plugins.
And custom fields for the other content types would be pretty sweet. ;)

Re: glz_custom_fields

Yup, definitely!
Re images I’ve very similar needs as johnstephens for one of my clients, a price field, dimensions, materials used, so image info doesn’t have to be entered on two different tabs.

Re: glz_custom_fields

Re: glz_custom_fields
Are you running the save version of MySQL on both servers? I had a similar problem once: the publish server was using an older MySQL version than my dev server. Once I exported the SQL to a file compatible with the older version, the import worked fine. I used the Export pane in phpMyAdmin to change the SQL compatibility settings.
