 > From what I can tell Image Details and Replace Image have identical
 functionality, or at least appear to, except with replace image you can
 choose a different image. If I just replace with the currently selected
 image and change some of the details in the right sidebar, doesn't that
 accomplish the same thing? If image details had more options, that would
 make more sense, like dimensions, css class, a dropdown of configurable
 predefined image classes, margin and border options, etc.

 So first, yes, I think the single mode will have some more things in it,
 or at least be extensible to be able to include more. That said, there is
 a fundamental difference here, and right now I think it's important that
 the two interfaces reflect that. With insert, you have returned to the
 Media Library. What you change in the sidebar changes that item's details
 in the database. In single edit mode, you are now editing the content you
 have inserted into your post - changes made there don't go back to the
 database. That is to say, it is not tied to the library in general
 anymore, you are just editing content.

 This is alpha, though, so it's all subject to change. A huge part of the
 reason we like to commit things early rather than when they're "perfect"
 is (besides that perfect doesn't always exist) so that we can really use
 it and get a feel for it.
