This option in my opinion is not good enough. The tree will actually go in the way of people understanding the tool. I believe the first impressio of the user needs to be simple and simple means less information shown on the screen. So it means a UI much more like the current Image UI (with the page choice removed). The tree or whatever concerning images or attachments from different pages than the current one should be hidden from the user. And this feature is actually NOT a priority.

We need to focus on making the simple case optimal. I vote for 2/ or sergiu's hidden tree idea.
