I recently ran across a LOOOOONNNG thread on IMCE and thought i'd post some recent direct questions here:

1a) Can anyone confirm that the new 5.0 version (or special 4.7) does NOT require a rich text editor to use it to upload imgs and then insert them on a node body textarea.

On the site demo the last example mentions "MCE is used in a custom way by the help of IMCE API" and it looks like it will work withOUT a rich text editor EVENTHOUGH THE EXAMPLE ON THE SITE ACTUALLY HAS A RTE BUEeditor in the example???

1b) Are there precise steps which show how to setup imce withOUT the RTE?

I ask because i've tried tinymce and it's great except for the fact that it jumbles up the formatting of the code it creates and it doesn't mix and match very well if you like to switch between handcoding and using the RTE (i imagine the same for fckeditor, etc).

I tried the demo site and imce looks great. However :

2) Is it possible to change the filenames at upload time or after you upload them? it would seem like a very useful feature but i couldn't seem to find a way to do that. otherwise, you have to make sure you have your files named accordingly BEFORE you upload...

3) Everyone is uploading to the same directory. Is it possible to specify and if desired secure upload directories based on user or content type, etc?

thanks much. it looks like a great module

admin/settings/imce
Enable inline image/file insertion into plain textareas:
edit-body

The default setting of IMCE is: different user use different folder.

it looks like imce is a winner..

- I assume this means that if i want to batch upload files via ftp to a given directory and THEN simply insert with imce that's possible as well right?

- I'm also wondering how ez it would be to modify this to provide support for upload and insert of video and audio files as well (either direct links which require a local browser plugin or for right click download OR as args to an embedded vid/mp3 player)?

- i'd still be curious to know about changing the filenames though as posted initially?

thanks for the reply
