[FM Discuss] Selecting images from uploaded files: a suggestion

[James Simmons]

Mick,

I already do upload all the images at once, or at least as many as I
can in one go.  That definitely saves time.  On the other hand, every
time I select an image I have to wade through a long list of
directories to get to the one I need.  It would be so much better if
it could remember what directory I selected previously, but it does
not.  I creates a brand new window with nothing selected every
(expletive deleted) time.

There are so many image directories I would think this would be a
source of frustration for everyone.
