CKEditor filebrowser plugin as iframe dialog not as popup

I get quite a lot bug-reports where clients are complaining that filebrowser is not opening. Problem is that the filebrowser window is allready open and is below the window ckeditor is in.

I would like to change filebrowser to use ckeditors iframe dialog (so javascript messups don't happen).

From what I've looked in _source/plugins/filebrowser/plugin.js changes should be made in line 177 editor.popup.

Is there some easier way to achieve this or am I missing a point somewhere? I'd rather extend or overwrite existing plugins than rewrite parts of them.

Re: CKEditor filebrowser plugin as iframe dialog not as popu

have you ever solved this problem?
I am having the same . It is really poor UI design
i have added in the filebrowser/plugin.js

function browseServer( evt )
{
document.getElementById(evt.sender.domId).innerHTML = ' Please Wait opening new winodw.... ';
//rest deleted

but i can not seem to find the onclose event so i can reset the button text

Here are the differences I made. W use CKEditors iframedialog for filebrowser contents so it should be easily customized to other uses since it uses the same config variables as the default one.

To config:

CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal('ngen_filebrowse', '<PATH/TO/YOUR/CUSTOMIZED/PLUGIN/>','<PLUGIN_FILENAME.js>');

config.removePlugins = 'filebrowser';

config.extraPlugins = 'ngen_filebrowse';
