In the Mustard Seed Media podcast http://www.mustardseedmedia.com/podcast/episode29 Rob said IMCE is the past and that the Media module is the future and that using IMCE for image upload should be abandoned in favor of the upcoming Media module.
While the roadmap and intended featuritis looks great .. I have an important use case which apparently isn't being considered. Namely attaching images and perhaps other media to comments.
It looks like this is only considering adding them to the node, and not to the comments.
I run a busy forum using Drupal and frequently the conversation is in the form of pictures, not words. The natural thing in a forum setting is to attach images in comments just as readily as in nodes. Further most forum-specialized systems support uploading images to comments very readily. I'm concerned that it will be a step backwards in this regard if IMCE is abandoned in favor of Media module.
Is it possible for IMCE to use some kind of API in media module so when IMCE uploads an image it attaches it to the right place?
