I've been setting up a site these days with many chapters of content. A lot of files too: images, pdfs, mp3s, ...
To keep all these files ordered I created directories like /uploads/docs, /uploads/movies, /uploads/sounds etc.
And within these directories subdirectories like /chapter1, /chapter2, but also /chapter1/2011, /chapter1/2012 etc.
I realized that in such a situation I could really use a button "back to root" that brings me back to the /uploads directory with just one click, in stead of having to click time and again on the parent directory link to finally arrive in the /uploads directory.
Would such a button be possible?
Or even better: a tree structure (or a drill down) of all (sub)directories so you can go to any (sub)directory in just one click?

Re: back to root in file manger
Use the OneEleven admin theme, the dropzone in the top right corner has a dropdown to change the current working directory (CWD). if you use that when filemanager is active, filemanager refreshes with the correct directory... no coding changes needed.
