'One image per page' - making it easy for editors

[Robin S]

I've just watched the demo video for the amazing Visual Page Selector module that kongondo is working on and it's got me thinking about the one-image-per-page approach to managing images. I haven't had a project that needed to reuse images on a large scale but I can see how it would be a good approach for managing a media library.

My question: when it comes to adding new images in the one-image-per-page approach, I understand how it's easy to do this via the API but how do you make it easy for site editors to add multiple images at once and add descriptions and tags to those images? Has anyone devised a module that that allows images to be added and described from within the PW admin? Or would it be simpler to create a form on the frontend (with restricted access) to handle image uploads/descriptions/tags?

This could done via a "album" type of image field that used for uploading a bunch of images and this images are saved under this parent page as single image pages...

honour goes to Adrian while he has put the main things together and helped me to polish it a bit.
