Adding Media Dialogue Box

When linking existing media, the media dialogue opens, listing all media records in Left Hand Pane.
Clicking on a single media item, causes its image to immediately appear in Right Hand Pane..
Click OK and one realises that although Image has appeared in RH Pane, it hasn't yet been selected and moved to Selected Media Records List!

I can think of two better ways to show the image
1. Show selected image in bottom of Left Hand Pane thus making people aware it has yet to be selected
2. Only show it after record itself has been selected and has been moved across.

What do others think? Is this little niggle worthy of a wish list item?

It does not bother me, as I normally just double click or if I am searching for one select and then cursor down to select the one I want and double click to select.

I would NOT want the image to be shown only after selection.
I want to confirm I've chosen the correct image before committing to right-hand list.

Bear in mind that selecting an entry in right-hand list also shows the image in right-hand pane.

I prefer the image pane on right because it uses the window more effectively.
The left-hand list is almost always longer than right-hand list.
So moving image pane to the left would curtail the list of media to choose from making it more difficult to find the one I want.
