I want to simplify the process of inserting images when editing posts. In wordpress default, you have to click "Add Media" to show a popup dialog, upload images, choose from gallery.. it is too complicated.

My desired process is:

  1. Click "Add Image" to show a dialog

  2. Click "Choose File" and pick an image from your computer

  3. Click "Upload" and wait for the file to be uploaded. Then image is inserted into post automatically

As an example, my desired process is just like the insert image button in the wordpress.stackoverflow.com rich text editor, you can click to see it (Sorry but I am not allowed to post images here)

I know stackoverflow upload images to a third party provider, but I want to use my own wordpress installation. Also, I don't care the Media management section (wp-admin/upload.php), I probably will remove it from admin panel.

My question is:

How can I implement a simplified upload images process in Wordpress? Any plugin available?

Are you using Wordpress 3.5? They've overhauled the whole image management process, and it's even easier to use than your described process. thenextweb.com/apps/2012/12/11/… – Ollie Dec 24 '12 at 11:16
Would this assume that the image being uploaded is properly proportioned? – kidakaka Dec 24 '12 at 16:12
