Image browser redirect to image properties after image uploaded

Thanks for for the great work, maintainer(s)!

In the image browser pop-up, I would prefer that after I upload an image I am redirected to the image properties form within the frameset, rather than the node view (which is awkward within the pop-up). Below is how I fudged it... wondering if you'd consider this behaviour as a future fix? Also open to suggestions if there's a better way to do it.

I have a module that I use exclusively for admin customizations. It's where I included this code:

function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
  if (module_exists('image') && $form_id == 'image_node_form') {
    // This sets a variable for hook_nodeapi(), telling it to redirect to
    // image properties instead of the node view. We check the referrer
    // to restrict this behaviour to the image browser pop-up. 
    if (strpos(referer_uri(), 'img_assist/load') !== FALSE) {
      $form['image_redirect'] = array('#type' => 'hidden', '#default_value' => 1);
    }
  }
}

function mymodule_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $a3 = NULL, $a4 = NULL) {
  switch ($op) {
    case 'insert':
    case 'update':
      if ($node->type == 'image' && isset($node->image_redirect)) {
        drupal_goto('img_assist/properties/'. $node->nid);
      }
      break;
  }
}

Cheers -
