145265 - Need ability to select files to upload during publish (N4.x parity)

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, enhancement)

Description

[kinmoz]

Filing this bug I received through email on behalf of [e-mail].

----

The Composer in the 4.x versions allowed you to select the files from the list
shown to upload. This new Composer appears to simply upload all (checked) or
none (unchecked )

we have an image directory two levels up that contain all the site wide images
(banner, etc.) at the level of the page I am editing we have an image directory
that is common to all, e.g., Wetlands. I  need the ability to upload images to
the image directory at the same level as the page I am editing (../images)
without uploading the images associated with the site-wide images directory
(/images).

it was great to allow the user to pick the directory to load images to, 4.x
version didn't offer this.

However, I find myself doing what i did with the 4.x version of Composer and
that is, creating a dummy html file, editing that in the directory where the
images are, and uploading the dummy html file and all images to the images
directory.
needless to say, my users would never use this very bad workaround that i use.
many moons ago, Beth E. said something about using the side bar to drag and drop
files between the local computer and the web server. is that ever going to happen??

Anyway, having a list of files to pick from for upload is really a neccessity in
my case.

Thanks...

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
