The distribution/linking of this file would need to be handled by a separate plugin though.
Yes, smd_remote_file can be used for that.
I was thinking about this myself, but I’m unsure as to why security would be improved. The image folder is already 777’d and images by default are uploaded and processed in this folder. What exactly is your concern with using the file/image folder as the processing directory?
It has to do with the selling of the files (downloads). If we are to sell them, we do not want them in the webroot. Unless we password protect the folder, I suppose… Anyway, the idea is to zip sold files outside of webroot, then move the zip somewhere in the webroot, so the customer can download it. Discussion on this can be found here

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3
Ok, so the ultimate destination is what you would like to change, and not the processing folder where everything is uploaded and then finally moved. It certainly seems like something I might look into. Any other ideas.. Anyone? I’ve got one :
- Thumbnails shown next to the the caption / title fields when entering the image info en-bulk.

What about the mega batch replace option we talk some time ago at #xpat?
Probably, the hardest part is to think a clever, usable UI to match new images with the ones to be replaced.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3
On a 4.0.8 install I can’t get ebl_upload to run correctly.
Save some single images which work others don’t.
After “Click to process uploaded files” I get the resize etc. screen but at the bottom [0] Total files to be imported within the batch upload folder and (consequently) no Import button.
Cannot imagine what causes the error. 3 jpg images uploaded are between 60 and 100 kb and sized 800×533. So no problems with size etc.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

It’s an old bug that somehow cropped back in. I’ll have a fix for that sometime in the next couple of days.

Am I the only one who has the problem described above?
Is there any workaround?

For what it is worth, I have had Eric’s plug-in (ver 3.0.1) installed on a TXP 4.0.8/PHP5/mySQL5 site for two months and my clients and I have uploaded 260 images in batches without the problem you describe.

I echo that! It would be a significant improvement to functionality.

I would also like to be able to change the image name during the upload process.
