Add Insert Image dialog from XML Author/Editor to WebAuthor

[mknebel]

In standalone Oxygen, the Insert Image action opens a dialog where you can select an image file, add a title and define relevant attributes:

image.png

Depending on whether you add a title, a <fig> element with an <image> is created or only an <image> element. This logic works great in nearly all cases.
However, in WebAuthor, a much simpler version is implemented:

WebAuthor_Insert_Image.png

People are using WebAuthor as primary editing tool more and more. Therefore it would be great if we could have the same functionality in WebAuthor as we have in standalone. The use cases would be to a) be able to add a title so that the image gets automatically wrapped in a figure and b) to set some attributes like width. This would greatly help authors that are not DITA and XML experts and currently might have a hard time inserting images the way it is expected.

Hello,

We have logged an internal issue (WA-9066) for the use case you described and added your vote to it. To help us understand how to prioritize it, could you tell us how users are affected by the current image insertion method in Web Author?

Best,
Cosmin
