Yes... a quick option to edit already published posts, specially older post.

In my experience the cooky only expires when I really logout of the admin section. If I leave the admin section without logout I don't need to login again the next time.
Well if the cookie is not valid anymore, than the Log-in page appears and than I get directly to the post to edit the category, picture information...

To edit posts, published a while ago and if they are not on the first pages in the section "Images / Posts" anymore, is for me sometimes frustrating (its not a critic its just an emotion).

That's how I thought it could work.
In WordPress (sorry if I compare) it is done with a Tag "<?php edit_post_link('(edit this)'); ?>.
My idea is to add a tag like "edit this" (like <IMAGE_PREVIOUS_LINK>), somewhere in the image template. The option only appears when the logged-in in the Adminsection is still valid.

With an click on the "edit this" option I will be directed directly to the page http://www.domain.com/admin/index.ph...images&id=1234
After I edited the post and pressed the save button I get back to the
http://www.domain.com/index.php?showimage=1234

I am not a programmer, so I can not estimate the workload and possibilities to implement a function like this but as a user it would be a great advantage.

If it is to complicated for some users they don't have to us or to implemt it. I don't have any knowlege in PHP or SQL yet but it was not an big issue for me as a new WP user to feel quickly very comfortable with this functionality.

Is a functionality like this really to complicated for the PP users or will it creat an useless "overloaded monster"
