Right. They have operated the same for a couple of years now. If your not using ASP then you have some sort of flash progress-bar multi-file upload thing.

Difference between Uploadify and SWFUpload is indeed only minimal. I'm experimenting with both, but so far my preference goes to Uploadify. In the end I might still opt for SWFUpload though.
Also the current upload method will still be available if you don't want to use the advanced uploader or javascript or flash is not supported.

UPDATE

I'm considering integrating SLIR with the new PFS system. It's greatest advantage is that it enables you to use different size thumbnails for any occasion, without creating too much server load or depending on the user's system to dynamically resize the image.

Main features:
  • Resizes JPEGs, GIFs, and PNGs
  • Intelligently sharpens for crisp photos at any size
  • Can crop based on width:height ratios
  • Can color-fill transparent GIFs and PNGs (to prevent IE6 issues)
  • Built-in caching keeps image variations for optimal performance

Basically what it does is:
  • You use a dynamic thumbnail url like datas/thumbs/filename.jpg?width=200&height=150
  • SLIR will check to see if there's already a file with these specifications
  • If not it will create the thumbnail using GD and return the new thumbnail
  • If so it will just return the existing thumbnail

I'm also very curious about this.

Though the Media Gallery plugin independent from PFS sounds tempting at first, PFS is IMO better, because users can re-use their files around the site. I'm looking forward to a better Media Gallery based on PFS.

I think that the PFS system in general needs the change.The current pfs isn't comfortable to use.
The the features sound good.I would like to add one minor thing about the folders:

Could you add group actions to the folder like "Select a few or all" and do the general actions on them,like delete,move,insert as file,instert as thumbnail,insert as object and ect.

and one minor thing about the File Uploading.When i upload a file and it sais "That the file with this name wasn't uploaded cause its already there" could there be typed WHERE is it....

Thanks for attention

thanx.lol

and if u mean medialibrary then u can use the images etc from medialibary in forums and pages, just create a bbcode, i did before, for the old medlibrary. i can post more details in the future.

also been considering hijacking the PFS for integration but i waited and am waiting for the new PFS.

Right, as Elgan said. Hacking a PFS that's compatible with medialibrary and ignores the old PFS is simple as heck to do.

i actually managed to steal images uploaded in PFS and add them to medialibrary without a core edit.

However im duplicating them atm as i didnt want to start adding placement holders to medialibrary, for example an extra sql to say if its from PFS and then look in more folders. An alternative is to make medialibrary use all the cotonti folders. Which i deliberate didn't do. As i wanted the files separate because its a separate plugin. Giving he option on the medlib config to change the folder path.

Well what I meant is a replacement for pfs.php which basically replaces the need for the built-in PFS.

Hmm, don't be offended by my piece of opinion, I'm pretty used to PFS system. Also, users on my site have tons of pictures in old Seditio PFS.

The new PFS will probably ship with a script to update from an older version, so you shouldn't worry about that. Also, you can set in admin panel if you want to use the new features or not.

I doubt that the new PFS will make the medialibrary obsolete, because the two have different uses. PFS is mostly just a file manager, and thus doesn't incorporate a gallery.

Added 37 days later:

I've been working on the new PFS all day today. I've incorporated the bugfixes that are in Genoa. The PFS is now almost fully skinnable too.
