However, my csv-export shows only one occurrence/ line of each image in media library, even where the count is larger than one. There are also lines with “Used in (count)” = 0. I would find it a useful reminder if you would find a place to describe the meaning of each column in the csv, especially for :Used In (count) Used In (posts) Used In (URLs) Unused * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Export Media URLs] Full image where-used export list](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-image-where-used-export-list/) * Thread Starter [pascalcrb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pascalcrb/) * (@pascalcrb) * [5 days, 22 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-image-where-used-export-list/#post-18983026) * Thanks Atlas, for providing this update ! 🙂 On first attemp (just now) I encounter an issue that I got before – but not directly related to the ‘where used’ feature itself. * In various captions and other meta-fields we used some ‘comma’ and ‘double quote’ als “formatting elements” in the descriptions … This seems to cause issues when generating csv-files, where comma and double-quote are used to separate fields. This results in unexcpected – or rather unwanted – splitting of the records/lines in the csv file. * Is there a handy way to overcome this issue? (other than reviewing all images in the media library to avoid comma and double-quote) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Export Media URLs] Full image where-used export list](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-image-where-used-export-list/) * Thread Starter [pascalcrb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pascalcrb/) * (@pascalcrb) * [3 weeks, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-image-where-used-export-list/#post-18965950) * Hi Atlas, * In the tab where one selects the “Exoprt Fields”, under the heading of “Relations”, you might consider distinguishing between a “Parent Post” and “Post-where-image- is-used”, possibly by applying following definitions: - Parent Post := “the Post from which the action was initiated to upload an image” - **UsedBy** Post := “the Post in which the image was loaded from the Media Library” * Obviously, in the resulting export file, you would then have a new/separate line for each found Post where the image is used in. Looking forward to see your beta- release accommodating this new feature 🙂 * Pascal * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Export Media URLs] Full image where-used export list](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-image-where-used-export-list/) * Thread Starter [pascalcrb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pascalcrb/) * (@pascalcrb) * [4 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-image-where-used-export-list/#post-18962468) * by the way … Would it be possible to “translate” special characters like eg. “ ‘”into what they should actually represent, eg. a single quote ? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Export Media URLs] Full image where-used export list](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-image-where-used-export-list/) * Thread Starter [pascalcrb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pascalcrb/) * (@pascalcrb) * [4 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-image-where-used-export-list/#post-18962373) * Hi Atlas, Happy to test 🙂It seems that I’m ‘rather good as testing and breaking devices’ – haha 🙂We’ll see how well I will do this time. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Export Media URLs] Incorrect Image Parent listed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-image-parent-listed/) * Thread Starter [pascalcrb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pascalcrb/) * (@pascalcrb) * [1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-image-parent-listed/#post-18959095) * Thanks Atlas, for your elaborate reply. * I’m both amazed and encouraged to read your appreciation and confirmation. * Looking forward to hear more of your developments 😊 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Export Media URLs] Incorrect Image Parent listed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-image-parent-listed/) * Thread Starter [pascalcrb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pascalcrb/) * (@pascalcrb) * [1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-image-parent-listed/#post-18958742) * I see the “work and data flow” in WordPress as follows (is this correct?): * .. media (images) can be  uploaded in two distinct flows: * 1.. while a new post is being created and in editing mode * 2.. from the Dashboard Media menu * In case 1.. the media item gets the current post-ID as associated parent * In case 2.. the media has NO associated parent * Impact/consequence: * Even when a particular media item is later inserted in another post, it will still be associated with its original parent – or remain non-associated after all. The “Parent” therefore becomes a ‘static’ infromation element. * When the plugin runs through all images, .. it will list the image metadata, hence including the post “from where” the media upload action was initiated, OR.. if media is uploaded from the dashboard menu, there will be no parent associated, which explains why some images indeed do not have parent data in the list * If I would like to see a list of media items with all posts they are included in, then the plugin would start from the posts data and make a list record for each media item it encounters per post. The “Parent-Media” relationship then will be “dynamically” retrieved from the actual situation (which may indeed change if a post is later edited…).This is particularly valid as we are using ‘posts’ as ‘articles’ bundled per month to form a monthly newsletter … * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Export Media URLs] Incorrect Image Parent listed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-image-parent-listed/) * Thread Starter [pascalcrb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pascalcrb/) * (@pascalcrb) * [1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-image-parent-listed/#post-18958492) * (ct’d) It seems that this plugin starts from the assumption that an image will be used in only one post.Hence I should probably read the functionality as such:.. starting from a post in edit mode, an image is uploaded to the media library.. one may paraphrase this operation as: “an image is born form its parent, which was active before the upload started”😉 Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total)
