New feature
in Moodle 2.8!

The embedded files repository allows users to manage files such as images which they have previously embedded into the TinyMCE text editor. This makes it more convenient, for example, to quickly re-use images in a label or page. It complements the TinyMCE Manage embedded files plugin, which allows files embedded in the editor to be deleted or overwritten.
