To make this module more efficient to use on multiple sites (maintenance & deployment), it would be necessary to move the support libraries to another directory. On drush updates, the module directory is being moved and replaced with a new version, making it necessary to copy the support libraries into the module's directory manually for each drupal instance.

Thanks. I think I will make it compatible with http://drupal.org/project/libraries.

Such a great module. But such a pain to maintain for the reasons already mentioned.

It would be so sweet if we could unzip the entire uploadify lib into sites/all/libraries instead of having to painstakingly drag a sspecific subset of files into the module folder only to have them removed during the next drush update etc.

I'll admit I don't know anything about the libraries module, but I wouldn't bother with it if it means an extra dependency, especially now that D7 is out. So many D6 modules (colorbox, ckeditor, getid3, print, etc.) support libraries installed at sites/all/libraries without depending on the libraries module, if uploadify just used the same method it would be so worth it.

Committed.

Now it supports:

1. the Libraries module.
2. "sites/all/libraries/uploadify" dir.
3. the module's dir.
