Currently the way to upload an image to use in a field has a useless extra step
1. Select Image to Upload
2. Select the now uploaded image
3. Insert the image

Step 2 really is useless and really time consuming if you have a large number of images to navigate through

We should assume that if you have uploaded an image that you want to use it so it should be pre-selected in the image upload field once uploaded

@brianteeman if you upload one image then what you propose makes sense, but (I might be wrong here as I don't remember the current behaviour) what will happen if you choose to upload multiple files?

  1. I am only suggesting that the image is preselected and not inserted
  2. Selecting multiple images reveals another bug that you only get a success message for the first image

When choosing an image to upload using select for example in article intro, there is no choice afaik to upload multiple images. You can indeed, but one after the other.

@brianteeman
Indeed, you are right IF, when browsing, one chooses more than one file in the same repository.
In that case I can see for example " 2 files selected " , no file name.

Otherwise, one sees the name of a file chosen, can upload. If browsing again, it is replaced by another file name.
Also the success message displays only a success for the last alphaordered file upoaded when uploading multiple files at the same time.

I guess the UI needs improvements, including a search function.
