Little Problem = Big Hassel

    I’m having a little problem that at first may seem insignificant but it’s really turning into a huge headache.
    It has to do with the Media Library, specifically in the “List” view.
    I have over 1600 images (with several thousand more to add) that corresponds into over 80 pages of items.
    The problem is, if I’m editing an image on, say page 35, when I save the changes, the library refreshes back to page 1 of the library. So now, if I’m working on things in certain order I have to click the next arrow 35 times to get back to where I was. If i’m on a computer with a slow connection this can really become a problem.
    Is there something I can do that will make the save refresh to the current page I’m on in the library?

    Where are you editing the images? Directly from the media library menu option or from within posts? I assume the latter as when you edit images from posts you scroll down, rather than page through them.

    If this is the case, bring up the media library, navigate to, say, page 35. Right click on the edit option below the image and then select “Open in a new tab” (or equivalent). The image will appear in a new tab, where you can edit and save it. The media library, at page 35, will remain open in the initial tab.

    The editing is actually a function that is in list view of the library — a plugin that changes the filenames.
    I’ve used the suggestion you mentioned before but in this case it doesn’t work.

    For normal editing that works, so Im guessing you mean that the filename plugin you’re using doesn’t allow you to do that? In which case, I’d be directing the query at the author of the plugin. Which one is it?

    The Plug-in is called Media File Renamer (I’m honestly shocked at how well it works).
    I guess I could ask the author, it’s just that I recall having this problem with some other things I’ve tried doing.

    Well, if it was “normal” editing then the solution I gave you will work. If you’re using additional editing function then, whether it’s this particular plugin or not, you need to bring it up with them.
