[alexvorn2]

For a faster change inline - to other format, add this option.

It was intentionally removed in #23426.

jrbeilke ​mentioned a valid use case in IRC: people might want to set format for a bunch of old posts.

Would be okay with restoring in bulk edit; still stand by it not being a good fit for quick edit.

24096.diff​ restores formats to bulk edit.

In 24096.diff​ you would want to unset $post_data['post_format'] when it hasn't been changed, i.e. it's = -1. Perhaps add 'post_format' to the $reset array.

Good call, done in 24096.2.diff​.

24096.3.diff​ replaces _ex( 'Standard', 'Post format' ) with echo get_post_format_string( 'standard' ) for consistency with [24522].

24096.3.diff​ looks good to me.

Wow, class-wp-posts-list-table.php has really bad formatting. The HTML is indented instead of the PHP and the multiple nested if ( #condition ) : ... endif; make it really hard to read :)

The posts list-table Quick Edit and Bulk Edit really really need a refactoring. The HTML and CSS are still IE6 compat, the JS is... old, the whole row scales pretty bad in a narrower window and is not responsive. All this can be done much cleaner now. Also the newly added Format drop-down pushes it down while there is some free space on the right.

In 24096.4.diff​:

• Removed setting the 'standard' post format to '0', and then to 'false'. Don't see a good reason for that, set_post_format() is clever enough to set empty or 'standard' post format correctly.
• Removed <div class="inline-edit-group"> that reserves a separate row only for the Format drop-down. Doesn't make any difference at the moment and eventually all drop-downs under the Tags textarea should be inline-blocks so they can wrap when less are shown.
• Added a check whether the post type supports post formats.
