Multiple file select from FileManager

[aerbey]

It should be good if we can select multiple file from filemanager.

see issue #41 ... it is not possible right now but you extend functionality by using https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload

Hi simogeo,
thanks for tip but I didnt mean about multiple file uploading, i want to be able to select multiple file from filemanager tablesorter pane, and return them by clicking select button. When i click select, filemanager will close and i will retreive the list of files that have chosen.

Ok, sorry for my first reply.
Without rewriting some filemanager sections it will not be possible. But this is a very specific need, and I will work on that.

If you work on the feature and want to give it back to the project, I'll integrate it if it does not affect the default behavior.

I willl try to find a way, but i do not have total control on source code, it may take some time. I would be happy also if you guide me on some workaround.

Into the filemanager js code itself, you would have to implement a method to get back path and concatenate them when selected and modify selectItem function to return desired paths when clicked.
