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

[James Simmons]

I managed to figure out a way to have the directory I need already
selected for adding new images.  This is what you do:

1). After adding an image, change to the HTML view and copy and paste
the <img> tag over and over.  Then change back to WYSIWYG view.
2). When you want to add a new image, select one of these existing
images, then press the Add Image button on the toolbar.  You'll be
able to change the existing image to the one you want and the correct
directory will be selected.

Not as good as the cookie suggestion I made, but it helps a lot.
