I've improved on my file manager modifications. you can now save caption information with images.
http://verens.com/demos/FCKeditor/_samples/default.html
after you upload an image, you can rename, delete, resize, rotate, and add captions (right-click on the file name).
when you click the image, the Alt parameter will be automatically filled in.
I'm thinking of starting my own file manager plugin to handle this, instead of submitting patches.
btw, the zip is here:

some improvements made on the code. doesn't try to resize very large images (they cause the server to run out of RAM, crashing the script).
some improvements I intend to make once I have my own plugin made:
1. pure ajax - cached file lists and directory structures allow for very quick navigation
2. remember the state - what directory you were in, how files were ordered, etc
3. drag'n'drop file re-ordering, to allow for moving files into different directories, etc
4. maybe I'll implement a search function as well, in case you have a shit-load of images and files.
5. build the caption automatically from EXIF data.
anyway - enjoy.

RE: saving alt text with image uploads
To File Manager Developers...
What you have done so far is great and I really appreciate it.
Is there anyway we can get all of the developers of the file manager to collaborate on one?
I like this one because it gives you thumbnails without having to mouseover the object.

He also has another plugin that will allow you to change the image on-the-fly.
Just basic functionality but basic is good for the majority of my users.
Thank you for considering my request.

RE: saving alt text with image uploads
lol! getting any two developers to collaberate is like herding cats.
).
personally, I like that there are multiple file manager versions. a bit of diversity is important for evolution of anything.
anyway - I've already started on mine
http://verens.com/demos/fckeditor/2.3b/ ... fault.html, if anyone wants to track progress, but it won't be usable for a few hours yet.
Anyway - there aren't really all that many file managers out there at the moment. The default one is pretty limited (but very cross-compatible with development platforms), and apart from that, there's really not that much choice.
I'm adding one more choice to the field (of course, mine will be the best
