Not sure if this helps Timothy nor how clean it is but this displays links to the image sizes and just the links for documents:

function muc_column( $cols ) {  
	$cols["media_url"] = "View";  
	return $cols;  
}  
function muc_value( $column_name, $id ) {  
	if ( $column_name == "media_url" ) { 
			$full =  wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, 'full', '' ); 
			if (is_array($full)) { 
				$medium = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, 'medium', '' );
				$thumb = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id );
				echo "Large | ";
				echo "Medium | ";
				echo "Thumbnail"; 			
			}  else {
				echo "".wp_get_attachment_url( $id )." ";				
			}  
	}
}  
add_filter( 'manage_media_columns', 'muc_column' );  
add_action( 'manage_media_custom_column', 'muc_value', 10, 2 );

Lex, not had the need for that before. To keep the resized versions but not the original? I guess I can see the use if you don’t want to store anything larger than the largest size you set. But I imagine ditching the original might be tricky. Maybe look for a plugin to control the max size of uploads, if storage space is the concern? Still, it’d be nice to allow the upload to get the smaller versions AND not use up loads of space. Well, good luck!

Great post! Very handy…however, I was on the search for something similar: how get the media library NOT to store the original file? Any suggestions?

Cheers!

%22 seems to be the URL escape code for a quote mark. I'm not sure how it's getting into your URL output. What code are you actually using to output the links? (Remember to escape angle brackets in HTML posted!)

Well I figured out what I wanted to do, but I'm getting an annoying URL: /wp-content/uploads/2009/08/timothy.jpg%22 How do I remove the "%22" at the end??

// Media Library URL column	
	function muc_column( $cols ) {
	$cols["media_url"] = "URL";
	return $cols;
}
function muc_value( $column_name, $id ) {
	if ( $column_name == "media_url" ) 
	echo 'Fullsize LinkThumbnail Link';
}
add_filter( 'manage_media_columns', 'muc_column' );
add_action( 'manage_media_custom_column', 'muc_value', 10, 2 );

Tim, good question. I guess wp_get_attachment_thumb_url could help you out in adapting the above code snippet to your purposes. Though wp_get_attachment_image_src might be more flexible if you're just concerned with images and need to output the URL to various sizes of the original. As to your second point, adapting the muc_value function above should easily allow this.

Steve, I’ve been looking everywhere for a way to output the URL for the full size and thumbnail images in the media library. So you’ve gotten me halfway there! Is there a way to add the thumbnail URL? It might also look nicer to have the URL linked to a line of text like “Full image URL” instead of outputting the whole URL.
