    Media folder contents still appear the same

    This package sounds pretty cool. I've installed it on Umbraco 4.6 but I don't think its working correctly for me. When browsing a media folder in the right-hand panel, I can see the new buttons in the tool bar at the top (such as the arrow to view the child node and the delete button), but the images & files are appearing as they normally would, eg. image thumbnails, pdf's not showing up. Am I missing something? - it's not looking like your example screenshot that has checkboxes next to all of the images?

    Thanks.

    Use the included datatype...

    Datatype Usage:

    1. Create a new datatype and select "Child Nodes Browser"
    2. Add the datatype to a content or media document type

    (i.e. edit the Folder media type and change the FolderBrowser the new datatype)

    Then go back to media section.. all should work then.

    Also reload backoffice to make sure javascript is loading to display image thumbnails in tree.

    Yeah its working now - this is cool, the media section in Umbraco has always detracted from the Umbraco experience - this makes it a lot nicer to use.

    And thanks for your quick response. A couple more questions

    • Is there a way to switch off the small thumbnails that now appear in the media tree? I'd prefer to just have the regular image icons for the tree, not sure if this is possible with your package?
    • When PDF's are listed in the folder contents on the right-hand side they are displayed as a folder icon, is it possible to change this? eg. to a generic file icon?

    Thanks again.

    It's kind of an all or nothing thing ... was a custom package for a photographer client...

    You can download the source and comment the lines that load the tree javascript... pretty simple.

    The icon for files (other than images) is loaded from the media/doc type properties.  Edit the File media type and change the large icon.

    I'm trying to edit the source to remove the tree javascript, but when I open the source projects in Visual Studio 2008 a lot of the references are missing. Even when I try to add them they still show up as not found. I'm not too good with Visual Studio - is it possible to grab the source that includes all references and the solution file?

    The package should contain all files.. let me know which references are missing.
