I'm pretty excited about a new upload center concept that I'm working on for Preachit and Melody. It is based upon the appearance and functionality of the Joomla media manager, but adapted considerably to work with Preachit/Melody folders.

The new upload center concept should allow you to upload to the same kinds of destinations as currently available - local, ftp and AmazonS3 - through an ajax powered uploader. It will also allow you to select files from local folders grabbing id3 data on the way. To be able to select a file from a list is one of the most asked for feature requests.

Other improvements include:

• No more fiddling about with a media drop down list to select the media to upload. now this is automatic.
• Ability to set default folders for each type of media and ability to restrict uploads to the default folder only.
• Ability to delete files from local folders to allow limited managing of files/folders.
