Comment:

 I am going to reopen this one, having just tested in [6994], again without
 Flash running.

 The situation is MUCH improved! I like the fact there is one button that
 says "Add Media", and all the functionality of the other screens that used
 to exist is combined into one place. It is a LOT clearer what is going on.

 However, I think the screen that opens when you click this link is still
 has a bit of confusion in it, which can be solved by some little text
 changes.

 At the top, it now says "Add Media". That's good, and accurate.

 Then, above the file box it says "Choose Image",  and below the box it
 says only image file types are allowed, but that is wrong. I suggest
 changing the text there to "Choose Media File".

 Then the next button you would click says "Add Image", when I think it
 should say "Upload Media File", because that is what it does -- uploads
 the file, not add it to the post.

 I think the button at the bottom saying Insert Gallery is clear enough,
 and I also see that there is a way to insert a single image inside the
 "Show" section (if it is showing), so that's good.

 I'll attach a quick patch for this with my suggestions for these minor
 changes.
