'WP Flash Uploader' is a flash uploader that replaces the existing flash uploader and let you manage your whole WP installation. The WP Flash Uploader does contain 2 plugins: 'WP Flash Uploader' and 'Sync Media Library'. 'Sync Media Library' is a plugin which allows you to synchronize the Wordpress database with your upload folder. You can upload by WFU, FTP or whatever and import this files to the Media Library.

Motivation:

Wordpress has a flash uploader which was not working on any of my servers. So I decided to write a wrapper for the TWG Flash Uploader which works on most servers so far. WordPress 2.5+ includes a new Media manager, However, It only knows about files which have been uploaded via the WordPress interface, not files which have been uploaded via other means (eg, FTP or WFU). So I had to implement something that does the synchronisation. The final result are actually two plugins in one. The 'WP Flash Uploader - WFU' and the 'Sync Media Library'. WFU is the wrapper for the TWG Flash Uploader and with 'Sync Media Library' you can syncronize the upload folder with the Wordpress database. I implemented this as seperate menu items because maybe you want to upload your files with FTP and you can syncronize your files without using WFU.

Have fun using WFU, Michael
