    Upload vs Media Picker?

    I have just started using Umbraco. I am tasked with associating several PDF files to product.

    I am going to create a File Document Type and allow those to be child nodes to each Product Document Type.

    Now my question is.... for each File Document Type, should I add an "Upload"...or a "Media Picker" ?

    What is the standard preferred way to do it?

    Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

    Sincerely,

     

    Jeff

    You could have a look at DAMP. There it's easy to select multiple pdf files.

    I need to attach attributes to each PDF file for display. For example, Title, Description, Size, Thumbnail, etc. etc. ...

    You could do that by creating a new media type which has all these properties. In this demo I use custom media types a lot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkcObL7CMvQ.

    For uploading you could use a custom version of the Multiple File Upload which supports custom media types: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/multiple-file-upload/bugs/20286-Support-for-custom-Media-Types.

    What is the preferred way of allowing users to upload files? Through the "Upload" type...or "Media Picker" ?

    Nevermind, I should have thoroughly searched the forum better...
