Why do you want this? Using ID allows us to get other info of the image easily. Besides, you still can get the URL of the images.

Hi.

I control some themes or plugins options with your metabox plugin. And i am happy with that:)

Every plugin or theme can have some their own metaboxes. So i am removing them and using your plugin the control these .

Sometimes these plugins or themes are saving meta values with different ways.

For example one of themes page title image background meta value option is saving value to database with image url. Not atachment id. So i cant control this with your single_image field.

For that reason i have asked this.

Thanks.

Gotcha! In this case, I think file_input works best. You still can use the media library to upload/select images while still seeing the image URLs. If you have multiple images, probably need to make the field cloneable.
