And even more questions.

- How could I add a new file
- Is there a plan to add the capabilities (aka actions) from file-storage folder chunk, or is it just for viewing files ?
- What is your current use case ?

More responses inline :

How could I add a new file ?

The code on CVS does not have this feature yet.

Is there a plan to add the capabilities (aka actions) from file-storage folder chunk, or is it just for viewing files ?

Yes, I have plans to add sorting, adding, deleting, copying and moving of files and folders.

What is your current use case ?

The intention is to develop a user interface that mimics windows explorer. The package will initially allow you to view files and folders but I hope to be able to integrate the other file storage actions soon.

My vision for the FS AJAX UI is to provide a clean attractive UI for the most common use cases. Then you have a link to an "admin" page, which is the old UI for occasional tasks like uploading zip files, uploading new versions, renaming etc.
