ZenPress port … Is this extension / plugin doable? (take 2)

Hey guys,

I bought a personal license last week and am anxious to get going on a remake of my personal site. I have a good feel for what EE can do now, and I LOVE the way weblogs work. Admittedly, I haven’t looked much into making extension/plugins yet, but I wanted to pass this idea in front of the community first to see if EE’s API would allow for it.

On my project I will be moving from Wordpress to EE … and I’m looking forward to using EE’s gallery. Previously I used ZenPhoto which served me well, I have no complaints. One nicety of ZenPhoto was that there was a Wordpress plugin written for it to streamline the posting of thumbnails from my gallery to my posts. The plugin, ZenPress, is one that I would love to see in EE.

I’m wondering based on the attached pics, if EE would easily allow me to develop an extension / plugin and place it similarly to ZenPress on the publish page along with the other quick buttons. Would I be able to place the button in that spot, is there a hook into that in the API? I can’t find it if there is.

That said, is there something out there that already does what I want?

(i had already asked this question over here but it was advised I post in this forum instead)
