Sander Jansen	Wednesday 27 August 2003 1:13:32 am I wonder why there is a special media tab in the admin interface in 3.2 while it actually just seems a content folder to me?
Jo Henrik Endrerud	Wednesday 27 August 2003 1:28:11 am Technically it is just a content folder, but if uses another template (with thumbnails of images and so on). Many users use a separate folder (top node folder) for handeling all media content, the media tab is to ease this. This is of course a matter of personal preference, it's up to you...

We used to create a seperate top level folder for this anyway, but the Media tab makes it easier for users. I hope this helps Tony Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!

Hi Sander,

The Media folder is a great way to store images that are used by the entire site. We used to create a seperate top level folder for this anyway, but the Media tab makes it easier for users.

I hope this helps
