Description

Steps to reproduce:

Open a page that contains an image that has a really long or complicated name.

Think, "Hey, I could use that image over at ______ article, too."

Click on the image. What's its name? Well, it starts off as File:Foo bar baz bat... but who knows what the rest of it is.

It would be nice to be able to see the entire name of the image and to copy that name as well.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Being able to copy it from the tooltip would work for me, for example.

I added [[File:Diederich Graminaeus (1550-1610). Beschreibung derer Fürstlicher Güligscher ec. Hochzeit (Johann Wilhelm von Jülich-Kleve-Berg ∞ Jakobe von Baden-Baden, Hochzeit in Düsseldorf im Jahre 1585), Köln 1587, Ringrennen am 18. Juni 1585 in Pempelfort.jpg]] to my page, loaded it in VE and looked at the media dialog. I could see and copy the whole thing, so I assume this got resolved at some point.
