I think it’d be interesting to look at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22959#comment:29 if someone’s interested in working on it

I’d like to know the status of Ryan Boren’s “Retiring media-new.php” proposal (https://make.wordpress.org/flow/2015/01/29/retiring-media-new-php/).

In addition to the browser uploader, media-new.php offers a number of hooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same. that allow pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party developers a way to extend its functions.

My plugin, Media Library Assistant (https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-library-assistant/), adds a form below the drag-and-drop area on the Media/Upload New Media screen. The form allows users to set defaults for standard fields, taxonomyTaxonomy A taxonomy is a way to group things together. In WordPress, some common taxonomies are category, link, tag, or post format. https://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies#Default_Taxonomies. terms and custom fields that are applied to items as they are uploaded. It uses the ‘upload_post_params’ and ‘post-upload-ui’ hooks provided in media-new.php.

I have not developed an alternative approach to this feature that works in the grid view or Media Manager Modal Window (MMMW). I have found it very difficult to extend grid view and MMMW, and I am concerned that a media-new.php replacement will have similar issues.

I hope you will think through and meet the needs of plugin and theme developers in any media-new.php replacement effort. Thank you for your consideration.

  I replied over here. I updated that post with screenshots of media-new.php + MLA. At the moment, this is just a proposal I’ve been shopping around. It has some interest, but I don’t know if it will get developer time during 4.4
