Stupid Image Question

Ok, call me stupid but how does one change an image in an editor field in Silverstripe 3.1 without deleting it first (and thus losing relevant links etc)?

If one clicks the editor button or uses the context menu, one is presented with an "Update Image" dialog, in which there is no possibility of swopping it out for a different one.

Is there a missing module to improve this behaviour that I am unaware of?

You could try using the versioned files module, allows switching images without having to change everywhere that the image has been used.

See http://addons.silverstripe.org/add-ons/silverstripe/versionedfiles

Hope that helps.

Thanks I will have a look.

The funny thing its that despite its other idiosyncrasies in this department, 2.4 did not work like this and image change was simple..

Sadly that module works only in the files tab and not in the page edit mode. This leaves either the image icon or the context menu as the only means to manipulate the image - and manipulate it you can't!!
