Hello,
I want to create a very huge data DB with tons of images (>10'000), like phonearena.com etc. But I don't see any reason to horse-fuck with each image uploading to WP Media Gallery, set theirs names, etc. I want just to upload all needed images as files to special folder and then show them at frontend (via Gutenberg or MB Views). Such method have many advantages: + much faster, no need to waste time with each file uploading; + much easy to update images just by uploading a new file instead of previous; + no garbage for each image at trash-like wp_posts & wp_postmeta DB tables; etc.
1) So, what CustomField type do you recommend to use to save a direct path to each image? Just text? Or URL? Or maybe you have some "image select" field which can work with direct files&folders (without annoying WP Media Gallery) and can show a previous?
1.1) If I will use images without [WP Media Gallery] - who will make a smaller version of images like "thumbnail/medium/large" - CDN will make it automatically by itself?
2) Does any image select CustomField support plugin [WP Media Folder] etc which still using WP Media but can organize images much better?
.
