Bug Description

When adding an existing image (or file) to a group page the default workflow has poor usability.

Actual:
The file browser starts at the user's own personal files. Once this is switched to group files it even more confusingly defaults to the first group alphabetically that they user is a member of, but that isn't clear - you then need to click on the groups dropdown menu to select which group you want to choose a file from.

Expected:
When browsing for a file to add to a group page the initial default should be the file repository for that group - the user can then change this if they want to use a file from elsewhere but this should be the starting point.

Tested on 17.04.3testing but exists in earlier versions.

From looking at the code / testing - the selected tab corresponds to the owner of the page, eg:
- owned by group the 'group' tab is selected.
- owned by a user the user tab is selected.

Also according to the code / testing one can only select which group to get a file from, eg populates the $selectedsubtab variable, if the page is owned by a user

I suspect this original reporter may have been editing a user's page and not a group page
