This data type can be used inplace of the standard 'Upload' control. The location files are stored and the xml that's saved is identical to the Upload control.
Replacing the default upload with this is a great idea, however, it does not allow the files to be linked in the rich text editor. Simply, umbraco does not recognize your data type as a "LinkableMediaDataType". You need to register the GUID into this List so that the link dialogs in tiny will work.
Using in media section
Hi Chris,
will be great if it is possible to use it in media section, is there any chance to ise it there?
Petr
I guess you could just go to settings -> media types and change the datatype used to this one?
Hi,
Absolutely correct Morten,

Chris
Thanks, it's great.
And what about possibility to choose and upload multiple filesinto folder?
Petr
This datatype is focussed on single files and direct compatibility with the current 'Upload' datatype.
Maybe I'll build a separate package for multiple file uploads, but theres already one available http://our.umbraco.org/projects/multiple-file-upload.
