File Browser Extension!

I know I've seen mention of this before, but with the extensions capability in 4.2.1 this would probably be really easy to share. Can we have a file browser button in the Dashboard, so files and/or photos can be added without having to edit a content item to get to the file browser?

4.2 doesn't add the ability to plug into the Dashboard, unfortunately That IS a planned 4.3 feature -- 4.3 will expand extensions into three new territories (at the moment anyway, maybe more or less will make it into the release):
- Dashboard plugins
- Cron/Daily Digest plugins
- Custom Interfaces (i.e. augmenting module Forms/Views/Reports)

Right now you'll still need to add a /custom/admin/modules/dashboard/default.php file if you want to modify the dashboard.

Re: File Browser Extension!

No problem, just checking. This is one of the more requested features from my editors, so I'll look into the /custom/admin/modules/dashboard/default.php technique.
