Installed Annotator which needs at least jquery version 1.8 or 1.7. When I set jquery_update to version 1.8 or 1.7, file attachments will no longer upload (at least, the progress bar goes away and nothing appears to have been uploaded. pressing "upload" again does nothing). Setting the jquery version back to 1.5 resolves the upload problem, but then Annotate no longer works.

What I need is a way to use jquery 1.8 for annotator and jquery 1.5 (or lower) for the rest of the site. Because Annotator by default will not run without jquery_update, and jquery_update updates jquery version for entire site, this appears to be impossible.

My question then is: Is there a way to get around using jquery_update and use, say, jquery_multi. I have installed jquery_multi and set jquery 1.8.3 to be used with annotator library, but it won't work because Annotator appears to only look at what is set in jquery_update.

Or, am I wrong about this? Is there anyone who is able to use both Annotator and core file attachments without issue?
