image upload needs repairs

[ingo]

In item post / edit page are to much weakness.

example - if you want to edit your item > to change only first image we have only delete option, deleting and
uploading new image will put it on fourth place.
to change first image you must delete all images  and upload all 4 again -  thats not customers friendly.

Edit Item / Images -  should have:  change image option. Why ? Beacuse if customs  can not sell their products they try to replace images or to upload new Image on first pace, or to delete /change only third image it happens and its normaly. - To edit Images like this is standard we must have it.

In post item  is more overwiev asked,  custom should see that he can upload 4 images (thats good for new customers)

Stuff like good Image features are basics for Classified project let's make it true, your opinion and suggestions are asked,
My suggestions in attachment

Hi Jesse,

Here is a forum topic with a bunch of image uploading scripts that include previews. Take a look they maybe of help.

Thanks Jay, but looks like you may have forgotten the link. 

My idea for this is to create a new table that will store the image ID and the order the user wishes them to appear. A function will be run on the Item page that will build an array of all available pictures, then build a separate array of any order preferences from the new table. It will first cycle through both arrays and begin echoing the item URLS as per the item order. For any items not ordered once that's complete, will just be echoed in the standard order (by ID). I've got about half the plugin done already (it will need optimizing when I'm done, but first step is to get it at least working).

Ah yes, I remember that thread! A new image uploader would be great. For now, I'm just working a re-ordering photos uploaded the current way.
