Captions for uploaded images

Mihai007 Pop	Monday 26 November 2007 5:10:09 am When uploading a new image from the paperclip option (ie. insert an object / upload new) there is only two options (name and file). This does not allow me to enter a caption except if I exit the article and then edit the actual image class. For a news site this means a lot of extra clicks for a single article meaning that it takes longer workaround to place a simple caption, description, name and file for each photo in the article. I know that at the moment of uploading the system does not know if it is a file, or an image etc...! One could allow these options to be shown at the screen where you have to align the image after the upload has been completed. The system could figure out that it is an image or a file or something else.
