Hi,
I was wondering if you could change the preview image in the file attachments list to be a link to the original image? I maintain the Lightbox V2 module and without the addition of a link/anchor tag, it's not possible to display the image in a lightbox or similar tools (e.g. thickbox), which was requested in #210488. I also think it would be easier than clicking on the filename to download/view the original image.
The code in question is generated by theme_upload_preview_image(), but I can't override a theme function from within a module. The function that calls it is a hook function, but due to the order in which the hooks are implemented, I still can't change the attachment list to have an image link.
The attached patch should make the preview image be a link to the original image. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Cheers,
Stella

+1 for the change. Subscribing.

I've tested the patch - image links work great!
The only note is that the class of the generated preview image is 'upload_preview_image'. That's great but the implication is that after this patch is committed, lightbox v2 will also have to be changed to support this new CSS class.

Lightbox will need a small change alright, but having a "upload preview" specific class is a good idea.

Patch looks pretty good need to look into inclusion in the module.
