Proposed changes for IMCE 6

  • Make use of AJAX for interface loading, file uploading and image resizing.
  • Use drupal forms API instead of hard coded forms, so modules can respond to file uploads.
  • Implement multiple selects and multiple file deletion.
  • Ability to use more than one predefined thumbnail sizes.
  • Ability to create image nodes(using image.module) from uploaded images. Cancelled! Maybe with a plug-in for IMCE
  • No more pop-ups or iframes. Use div layer instead. Iframe was removed from user/UID/imce pages. Still using pop-ups in text editors

Your documentation states

Your documentation states that IMCE directory paths must be relative to drupal's file system path (that is usually files).
It would be great if there would be a way to use other paths on the same server that lie outside of drupal's default file structure. I would love to be able to create a folder that imce could access either with a http://www.mysite.com/images or a ../images as the prefix - even if this would only be available to the admin/user1 and not any other drupal user.

Might that be in your roadmap?

This is like going outside

This is like going outside Drupal boundaries and it will probably be avoided. However, using a custom module it is possible to change Drupal's file directory path before IMCE runs and restore it after IMCE is finished. That way you can add exceptions for certain users.

about use, i have problem,i

about use, i have problem,i need a download bottom , because when i download a image ,this image will show in IE ,i have to use tools download it .

It would be very useful if

It would be very useful if thumbnail creation could optionally preserve aspect ratio. At the moment, images are resized and cropped (which to my mind, is not a thumbnail).

Another option to crop an image would also be useful

Under supervision of Drupal :)
