What about a "Create here" menu when clicking the node icon in the administrator.
It would reduce the time creating a new object.

I would very much appreciate this, too.

Yeah yeah.. we have thought about this, please have a look here:

..as you can see, the menu was planned; but unfortunately it was left out of 3.5 because of the following reason:

It would require more processing & bandwidth because of the necessary permission/access information. We could of course skip this, but then the risk of users getting ACCESS DENIED (because they do not have permissions to create a certain type of object at a certain location) would emerge. Some people think that this is bad. Feel free to discuss what you think is best:

1)
Not having the menu.

2)
Having the menu without the necessary permission checks (in other words: the menu will include all classes regardless if the logged in user is allowed to create all those classes at that exact location). Some users might get ACCESS DENIED, but it might just work for the most typical/usual cases (where only one admin or a bunch of admins without limitations are using the interface).

3)
Having the menu with the necessary permission checks - this will most likely slow down the interface (a lot).

4)
Perhaps make it configurable.. (on/off and just go with suggestion 2).

Personally, I'd say configurable would be best (as always ;-)

Yep...

Off
On - Check permissions
On - Don't check permissions

It would also be great to select picture while browsing by clicking the icon in the treemenu.

And to add picture while browsing (as it was before 3.5)

Yeah using the treemenu instead of (or additionally to) browse would greatly speed up a lot of things. Steady reloads with the current browsing sure slow you down.

Icons in the path of admin interface would also be excellent to use for menus to Edit etc...

This should be part of the '[AJAX-TreeMenu] On demand tree menu' as its only loas the nodes you need.
And that menu should be a part of 3.9.
