WP Attachments

Nice and useful plugin. The only downside is that it lacks a setting to show image thumbnails instead of a generic image icon in the edit metabox.

Show thumbnails instead of icons in metabox

A powerful solution to manage and display your WordPress media attachments in posts and pages.
