Well I think a new visibility setting will keep things organised, which is what I like. Field 'RTE Images' with 'Display in Select Image plugin only' would hold any images for the RTE, field 'Page Images' with 'Always open' could handle the images outside of the RTE area.

I think this is where I am getting confused. I played with the visibility settings thinking, add an image field then the page has an image field, just hide it so it doesn't appear on the backend. Unfortunately when you click upload image in the RTE, because this is set to not display, it doesn't display here. I am thinking a new visibility setting could be introduced to image fields along the lines of 'Display in Select Image plugin only'.

So, I am looking into Processwire for a new site and I am using the dev branch. I really like it so far and can see great possibilities. What I am finding confusing is that to add images to the RTE you have to have an image field on the page. When an image is added to the RTE this image is added to the image field, if images are in the image field then these are available in the RTE. Now, surely this leaves for confusion in the displaying of images in the frontend. The image would be displayed in the content (RTE) and the designated area of the image field. I am also finding it confusing that there is no media manager so to speak. If I wanted to add an image that is already in the system I would have to find the page first where it was added? This could get quite clicky. Liking what I see so far, just wondering how people would attack these issues? I appreciate the image stuff in the RTE has only been added recently so there may be plans for improvement in the dev branch.
