Hi,

I'd like to enable BATCH MEDIA upload to UMBRACO 5.

Unfortunately all existing packages are broken, so I've started creating my own

(following this guy's nice blog here.. http://heltblank.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/multiple-file-upload-for-umbraco-5-jupiter-using-uploadify/)

My PREFERED option would be using a WCF webservice, but a BackOfficeController is also an acceptable option...

Now the QUESTION:

*) How do I FETCH existing media folders (for parentId) in the webservice or BackOfficeController?

*) How do I Create a new Media Item in the webservice or BackOfficeController (directly via Hive, ..) not just calling the controller as in the blog above?

I've been really in love with Umbraco for 2+ years.. but the API model for Umbraco 5 seems a bit over-engineered in my opinion.. (Hive / Get Writer / Repository / Schema /...) all similar terms that harden development work like this..

THANKS for your help,

mike.
