rtMedia 3.0 uploader progress bar & image removal

The new uploader adds some nice functionality but has loss some rather important UI features, mainly the progress bar and the fact that uploads do not start until the user clicks 'post update'.

Is there a way to have the uploader automatically upload the selected image or bring back the progress bar. In my initial testing of the recent changes virtually everybody was confused when selecting an image. They assumed that the image was not uploading after selection.

--or--

Is there a easy way to remove the first 'Add Media' button so the upload box is always shown. That way I can move the box above the final action button.

Hi,

The reason we opted for this approach is that the image only gets uploaded once the user makes up his/her mind to post the update.
You would need to write some custom js and override the css to achieve the desired result.
