    Are there plans to allow developers to extend the bulk actions drop-down on the grid view?

    I noticed on https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28842 that the Bulk Delete was only recently moved back into a drop-down, so I understand that things are still fluctuating a bit.

    However, if it isn’t intended to let folks extend it, and Delete Permanently is the only option, I wonder if this comment begins to make more sense: http://make.wordpress.org/ui/2014/07/22/media-grid-user-testing-round-1/#comment-24457
    That would make 2 clicks instead of 4, and you’re still asking the user for confirmation before they blow up anything.

    At any rate, I’ve managed to add my own ‘Bulk Optimize’ action via javascript, replicating the method I borrowed from viper007bond’s regenerate thumbnails plugin. Unfortunately, it actually attempts to delete the images, because the drop-down on the grid mode is js-based, instead of submitting via POST like the old one. I barely know enough js to be dangerous, so any guidance here would be appreciated.

  • WordPress is constantly evolving. If you have suggestion that you feel would add to the functionality of WordPress, I encourage you to add your suggestion to the formal ideas site here: http://wordpress.org/ideas/ Of course, check first that someone hasn’t already made such a suggestion (if they have, you can add your vote).

    Now, WordPress 4.0 will be making some changes to the Media interface, so you may want to also get involved via the developer chat discussions. For more information, please review: http://make.wordpress.org/core/

    That question would be best asked in the trac ticket, actually.

    The alpha/beta forum is a feeding channel to trac, most of the time, so when there is already a ticket, we ask people use that, and mark the post resolved.

    Will do, I just wasn’t sure if that particular ticket was fair game for folks outside of core devs.

    Looks like this was addressed in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/29101 too! Only 3 hours ago! Yay!

    Thank you Ipstenu – I, too, wasn’t sure if the trac ticket was open to non-core devs.

    Thank you so much for clarifying.
