Hi

Good work Roche!

My comment is about selecting images. We should not overload the widget 
(it is so selfexplaining and usable now) but there needs to be a way to 
select images with preview.
Together with this there are several whishes floating around (cropping, 
scaling, detail view, etc.) For this see
http://titanpad.com/y3lqN1t7Hb and https://dev.plone.org/ticket/10174
We don't have to support that now but we should not close the door to 
support it later if that is possible.
