 * Hi,
 * Just wondering if it is possible to have a category assigned to the uploaded 
   file when it goes to Media. Trying to allow easy way for backend viewing of uploaded
   files.
 * Thanks

 * actually when adding uploaded files to Media library with the plugin, any user
   fields that you have set together with the upload will be added to the media 
   item as properties. Maybe this is a way to categorize?
