It does most of the things on the wishlist I posted, but doesn't do some 
other things that filefield (plus insert) does. E.g. storing files based 
on paths with token strings (e.g. by date).

I think what I'll do is leave the image management till a bit later in 
the project (this site will take me a few months part time work), and 
have another look then. I like the way the Media module seems to be 
heading, but it's not there yet.
