When working with the built-in tinyMCE editor and huge Typolight sites (with a ton of images) there are two flaws concerning image management.

1)
typolight shows only a looooong list of images (in the dropdown) that makes it very complicated to find the correct image.

It would be great if there was some kind of image manager capable of showing thumbnails (a bit like in the filemanagement section of typolight).

A nice (but somewhat cluttered) example is this tinyMCE plugin:
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/plugins_imagemanager.php

It would be wonderful, if some of the core features would be implemented into typolight (and in typolight "style").

2)
The second issue is that there are no resize functions included in typolight. I run into the following situation very often:
- upload a big photo via the filemanager
- include it in a image gallery on my site (where the raw (big) image is shown)
- but then i want to implement the same image for example in a news article, but only a scaled down version.

When including the image via tinyMCE and choosing the width and height it would be great if typolight creates a scaled down copy of the image automatically.

The previously mentioned tinyMCE plugin http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/plugins_imagemanager.php has resize (and even crop functions), but it would be stellar to have something that is really tightly integrated into the typolight workflow.
