Description

NOTE: This is a feature request, not a bug
Dev note: I am a PHP programmer and am happy to help work on this time permitting

OBJECTIVE: To have a mechanism such that when inserting a file from the Media Gallery into a Post or a Page, information such as the file size and file type can also be displayed.

For example, inserting 'Myfile.doc' into a Post gives you a link like:
Myfile.doc

I want something that does:
Myfile.doc (Word document, 99kB)
automatically

  • Status changed from closed to reopened

Regarding the mime-type (File type) this has not been considered plugin material. It's in core right now. I'll re-open the ticket then because the closing statement has been at least prooved partially wrong.

The information is already there. You can get it by using wp_get_attachment_metadata().

So, to achieve your objective, you can just hook into 'media_send_to_editor'.
