Summary from last week

The last meeting was Friday, October 14 at 17:00 UTC. You can read the entire chat log in the #core-media channel on Slack.

Attendees: @mikeschroder, @karmatosed, @adamsilverstein, @paaljoachim, @mapk, @flixos90, and @azaozz.

• Media organization improvements:
  • Last week, we chatted about starting up design for Media organization improvements. @paaljoachim and @flixos90 started sketching flows in GitHub.
  • @karmatosed mentioned focussing on documenting the current flows this week.
• Add new core media widget (#32417) – No progress was made this week and it’s now too late for 4.7, but work should continue so it’s ready for a future release.
• Rotate Full Size Images on Upload (#14459) – @mikeschroder planned to do additional profiling re: complete resize+rotate times for upload vs editing.
• Better PDF Upload Management (#31050) – @mikeschroder is putting more attention on trying to get this in this release after chatting with @helen.
• Drag/Drop Ordering of Media Does Not Work in Chrome on touch enabled devices (#31652) – @adamsilverstein noted that the patch to enable sortable on touch devices was ready to commit, which was handled in [38793] this week. Additional discussion about reducing reliance on `wp_is_mobile()` is happening on #33704.
• Accents in attachment filenames should be sanitized (#22363) – @gitlost has been working on updates for this ticket, which is now closely related to fixing #24661 (`remove_accents()` is not removing combining accents”).
• Usage of `image_size_names_choose` breaks JS attachment model attributes (#34981) – @azaozz suggests using srcset in the media library to make sure full size images aren’t used if a smaller image is available (as described in the ticket description).
• Responsive images (srcset) can include images larger than the full size (#36477) – The latest patch, which utilized `Imagick::getImageColors` adds a significant performance concerns. @mikeschroder punted this out of the current milestone for now.

Agenda for the next meeting

This week, discussion will continue on priority projects for the 4.7 release. If you have specific tickets that you want to have discussed, feel free to leave a comment on this post or reach out on Slack in the #core-media channel.
