good news! my company was pretty pleased with the contextmenu remove/rename work I did on the filemanager, so I've been asked for some further improvements, on company time.
along with a few bug fixes (the contextmenu's location is incorrect on large pages, for example), I've been asked to write the following extensions into the filemanager:
1. a thumbnail preview of images. when you hover your mouse over a link for a second or so, a small bubble will appear with a thumbnail of the image, and a few details such as width/height, etc.
2. ability to resize an image after uploading it. the current fckeditor system is to rely on HTML resizing, which involves downloading the entire image even when only an icon of it is required. I've been asked to provide a server-side resize facility.
3. permissions for images. in our CMS, there are potentially multiple users. we want to allow images to be protected from being potentially overwritten.
Of the above, the first two are of obvious use to the community. The third is probably only useful for ourselves (webworks.ie).
Anyway, once the first two have been completed, I will submit them back to the community. The third is probably not useful for you at all.

Have you seen the iBrowser and related plugins?

RE: filemanager extensions
Maybe have a look at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php? ... _id=379487 : Gerhard provides us with an imageManager, maybe that provides the resizing ability already...

It didn't, but it does now, see http://fckplugins.saulmade.nl/ ("The ImageManager plugin Extensions")
