We really like the functionality of the Extended Media Picker and really hope that these features get added to the core soon.
However, we've found that the Extended Media Picker does not preserve selected "Start Node in Media Library" for users when this is set in the Users section of Umbraco. When adding images to a document, the user just starts at the root of Media, regardless of which start node is selected for them. At this point, they also get an error if they attempt to upload, since they do not have permissions on Media root.
Regarding adding this to the core, I don't think it will be done. There was a debate about how the UI shouldn't allow linking like this, from one section to another, directly from other sources than the Section Links to the left.
There is a version 1.0.3 that should fix your issues. The media start node was not loaded properly with userService, as the legacy MediaPicker does in newer versions.
Either you install the package for 1.0.3 or download the GitHub code.

Can you help?

Hi Sam,
You're right. It doesn't. I'll try and look into this as soon as possible.
I've created an issue on github: https://github.com/rolfis/ExtendedMediaPicker/issues/4
Regarding adding this to the core, I don't think it will be done. There was a debate about how the UI shouldn't allow linking like this, from one section to another, directly from other sources than the Section Links to the left.
All the best, Rolf
Thanks Rolf! I'll take a look at the debate you mention and maybe add my 2 cents...
Sam,
