Faster Image Insert aims to do one thing right:

Moves built-in Media Manager down in a meta-box, right next to main editing panel, so you have full control of the manager: opens it, makes it collapse or hidden from the interface completely.

Best of all, is now you can insert image(s) much faster, and precisely where you want them to be.

• No thickbox, using metabox with zero interface blocking, quite similar to the uploader in WordPress 1.5
• No hacking, default upload interface is not affected, only enhanced.
• Insert multiple images in gallery & library mode, without using shortcode; can also insert images in reversed order, and even control spacing between images.
• Mass info editing, change title/captions in one-shot.
• Smart switches: set default uploader, disable captions & toggle all items.
• Initial load time is still limited by server, because the default media manager is not fully client-sided.

This plugin is designed for:

• Screenshot lovers - movie, game or anime reviews etc.
• Howto gurus - cooking guide, hardware DIY guide etc.
• Photo loggers - author can comment below each photos.
• Bloggers that have been shouting "run, manager, RUN!" to their thickbox loading screens.
