 Make the URL visible (so the user can copy and paste it) immediately upon
 that piece of media being added added to the queue - (rather than
 displaying it once it has uploaded). Essentially it would have to look for
 the filename and determine the file structure of the site, and feed the
 prospective filename back to the UI.

 Example:
 [[Image(http://wintercyclingcongresswinnipeg.org/wp-

 Reason:
 This would eliminate the wait time and workflow interruption whereby the
 user waits for a file to upload before being able to link to it in a
 post/page, etc.. Yes, the occasional upload will fail, in which case the
 user will need to find an alternative/fix links, but this is much
 preferable than having to wait. This is especially true for uploading a
 bunch of files for use in content. Especially when one is a powerpoint
 presentations, pdfs, large images, etc.. It only takes one medium sized
 upload in the queue tpo create a long delay creating content based around
 it. Having the URL display immediately for copy and paste with make it
 alot easier.

 Thanks for your consideration, i encounter this issue often and feel this
 will make a huge difference for a lot of people. Apologies for not being a
 coder.
