Description Manager is an Umbraco v10+ plugin for helping editors quickly update media items that are missing descriptions.

What is a description? That depends, an example could be an Alt Description on an Image, it could be a Title on a video. It all depends on the site.

Why use this package? If your media types in Umbraco has a field for it's "default" description, this package will give editors a quick overview for items where the property is not yet set.

It comes with an easy to use dashboard:

As well as an update to the main media Tree:

Add the package to an existing Umbraco website (v10.4+) from nuget:

dotnet add package HCS.Media.DescriptionManager

By default the package will work for the following types with the following properties:

• Image : Alt Description (altDescription)
• Vector Graphics : Description (description)
• Video : Title (title)

It is possible to override the defaults, however it is not possible to override a single item, it is a case of all or nothing. To override the settings add the following to appsettings.json.

"HCS": {
   "Media":{
     "DescriptionManager" : {
       "Image": "altText",
       "umbracoMediaVectorGraphics": "title",
       "umbracoMediaVideo": "title"
     }
   }
 }

Each property in the Media object represents a Key Value pair of "Media Type Alias" : "propertyAlias".
