# Thumbnails in posts

 * I upload an image with the inline uploader, and drag the pic over to the editor.
   The radiobutton is checked on “Link to file”. When I then click the thumbnail
   in the published post, I get redirected to the URL “[http://www.mypage.com/wp-admin/upload.php?style=inline&tab=browse-all&post_id=283&_wpnonce=c03cc8b9ed&ID=285&action=view&paged&#8221](http://www.mypage.com/wp-admin/upload.php?style=inline&tab=browse-all&post_id=283&_wpnonce=c03cc8b9ed&ID=285&action=view&paged&#8221);.
   I want the thumbnail to link to the file itself, so that the image itself is 
   shown. Isn’t this what the “Link to file” is supposed to take care of? What’s
   wrong?

 * Sometimes when dragging the thumbnail, it’s not linked correctly, just click 
   on it and select “send to editor” – works very good…
