File manager
File manager
I am using the file upload class on a couple of projects to handle document management and image files.
Sometimes however, the image file I want to use is already on the server, so doesn't need to be uploaded.
Is there a way I can utilise editor as a file manager and browse the local server folders and upload only if the file is not present ?

Do you store a hash of the file so you know if it unique on the server or not? You could in theory return the id pointing to the existing file - that would of course need a custom upload action to check if the file exists or not and then return the corresponding ID. A database lookup of the file's hash would work for that (not something I've tried, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work).
