[wp-hackers] Populating Image meta box fields on new image upload

[Peter Adams]

ok, getting a little closer. I'm now using the attachment_fields_to_edit hook to populate the empty form fields on the attachment meta screen but i can't populate the "Alternate text" field. 

I see it in the $form_fields array that is passed into the hook but any label or value I set on it does not show up on the form.

any ideas?

-P-
