Hi there,
I'm just posting here to see if there's any interest in alternative file browsers for FCKeditor? I have created a browser called TinyBrowser (originally for a certain other JS content editor 
) and with latest release I've added experimental support for FCKeditor.
Here are some of TinyBrowser's features:
Integrates as a custom file browser for image, Flash and 'all' file types
Adobe Flash based file uploader, supporting multiple file selection and upload with file type and size filtering (permission based)
Browse files with a list view or as thumbnails (images only)
List view has image thumbnail on hover
File display order customisable e.g. by name, type, size, date
Find function to filter results by search string
Display detailed file information such as type, size and dimensions (images only)
File deletion facility (permission based)
File edit facility (permission based) - rename, resize and rotate (last two images only)
File storage location user definable for each file type
Optional session control
Optional Pagination
Multi-lingual support (currently English, French, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese)
Many user definable settings, all from central configuration file
It requires PHP server and at least Flash 8 for the file uploads.
Here is a download link http://www.lunarvis.com/products/tinymc ... upload.php.
Opinions welcomed 
Bryn.

Re: Custom File Browser with Multiple File Upload (Flash Based)
This is just to say that I have now tested your browser on Windows server and some Linux servers and it seems to work seemlessly.
Thank you.
Re: Custom File Browser with Multiple File Upload (Flash Based)
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad TinyBrowser is working well for you. If you're interested, I have created a Google Group for TinyBrowser here http://groups.google.com/group/tinybrowser - you'll find latest beta and more discussions there.
Best Regards,
Bryn.
Re: Custom File Browser with Multiple File Upload (Flash Based)
Just a quick post to let everyone know I've released a beta for TinyBrowser 1.40, available from the Files page on the TinyBrowser Google Group - http://groups.google.com/group/tinybrowser/files.
The major new feature is folder support, and my number one aim in implementing this was to keep the general simplicity of TinyBrowser. With that in mind, I think I've been successful - for instance, if you don't require support for multiple folders, simply switch that option off in the configuration and all will be as it was before.
Here's the change log for 1.40 so far:
New Features:
Added multiple folder support with a separate Folders tab to allow folder creation, renaming and deletion.
Added Move action to Edit tab, to allow moving of files between folders.
Added Danish language file.
Added 'delayprocess' to config file - this can be set if server response is delayed, preventing uploaded files being processed correctly.
Added width and height config values for the TinyBrowser pop up window size.
Changes:
Added recursive flag to createfolder function, to allow TinyBrowser to create full upload path.
Changed default window size to 770px x 480px.
Minor code optimisation.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed minor bug causing elementid to be lost after file upload in stand-alone mode.
Fixed stand-alone javascript selectURL function bug that prevented TinyBrowser window close on selection.
Fixed bug in Flash upload that prevented folder permission error reporting.
Please post all feedback / bug reports to this thread, thank you.
Bryn.

TinyBrowser 1.40 - A TinyMCE file browser (C) 2008 Bryn Jones
(...)
This installation method integrates TinyBrowser as a custom file browser with
FCKeditor.
1) Copy the tinybrowser folder and contents to your server.
2) Edit your fckconfig.js file as follows (replace existing lines).
To enable TinyBrowser for files:
FCKConfig.LinkBrowserURL = '/yourtinybrowserurl/tinybrowser.php?type=file';
To enable TinyBrowser for images:
FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL = '/yourtinybrowserurl/tinybrowser.php?type=image';
To enable TinyBrowser for Flash:
FCKConfig.FlashBrowserURL = '/yourtinybrowserurl/tinybrowser.php?type=media';
If you wish to disable the default FCKeditor file uploads (recommended), set
the following:
FCKConfig.LinkUpload = false;
FCKConfig.ImageUpload = false;
FCKConfig.FlashUpload = false;
3) Edit the TinyBrowser configuration file (config_tinybrowser.php).
Change the $tinybrowser['integration'] line:
$tinybrowser['integration'] = 'fckeditor';
The other most important settings are the file paths (these will be
automatically created on your server by TinyBrowser if they do not exist) and
the 'obfuscate' property, which should be set to a random value.
***NOTE:*** If your server is Unix-based. you may wish to modify the
$tinybrowser['unixpermissions'] config value, which decides permissions.
4) All done! Now when you click the Browse Server button in the FCKeditor dialog
windows for image, Flash and link, TinyBrowser will appear instead of the
standard FCKeditor file browser.
