I had suggested that a while ago - same I/F as ZMI... but Tres came up with
some reasons why they did it the way they did.

This is easily changeable via the initial screen setting in the appropriate
portal_type.... I changed it to the upload_form which makes more sense for
File.  Also, the name 'Edit' is easily changed in
portal_types/File/Actions...  My point being... some forum for working stuff
like this out, since it's not currently consistent out of the box.

Seconded!
