Any way to link uploaded image automatically for insertion into article ?

You can you suggest how to find uploaded image in folder which contains 10000 photos?

Are the articles and images coming from an older Joomla site?

Yes. But even for new uploaded photos, I prefer not to search uploaded image. Any idea?

Take a look at J2XML extension. I use it all the time to transfer articles from one site to another. On the destination site the articles arrive complete with any related images. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/migration-a-conversion/data-import-a-export/j2xml

Take a look at J2XML Set Images plugin too.

I talked with Joomla developers. So image insert/automatic linking is expected to be included in feature version. For now, we are advised to copy image address in Image URL just after uploading file.
But I think it should be simple code which can include Image address automatically in image URL field.

J2XML Set Images plugin automates population of the Images and Links feature of Joomla. You insert image(s) in Editor window (I use JCE Editor) and when you Save, the plugin goes to work.

I see its about migrating photos from another platform. Are you sure that it provides instant insert of uploaded photos ?
I’m talking about inserting images in NEW ARTICLE > IMAGES AND LINKS > Upload/Insert

Currently it uploads image but does not insert mage address automatically to image URL, or does not insert image

Why are you uploading images? The J2XML component and plugins do that for you. See also j2xml Grab Images http://www.eshiol.it/joomla/j2xml/j2xml-grab-images.html

Don’t you start by creating an article to which you want to add an image ? You did say that the content you need to migrate is on an existing Joomla site.
