    Can I ask why you want to get it by name ? Names can be changed by editors and that way your code breaks.

    Also maybe you can explain what your are trying to achieve. Maybe there is another solution to your requirement.

    I have to display a image with a certain name. The editor knows that the image won't be displayed unless it's named correctly

    Why don't you add a media picker to your doctype. That way the editor can change the image and you can get it by Id ?

    So it's not possible to get a media file by its name i guess.

    It is possible. I just won't recommend it. One editor may now that he can not change the name, but another one can forget and change it and break the site

    In uQuery there is a method to get media by name.

    See documentation : http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Querying/uQuery/Media
