More than one file manager in a site with different upload path

Have a small issue with the file manager, I have added more than one to the admin of a site but the first instance I have inserted in the site is showing the upload dir of the second one I inserted. They are on differenet pages.

In each html editor instance, you can enter a subdirectory of the site settings upload path to have them go to unique folders.

Ok, tried it again and got the same result so I traced the file that stores the location for the uploads and it appears that there is only one file, webasssit/kfm/configuration.php and within it one var that stores the info "$kfm_userfiles_address" so if this is the case it would make it impossible to add more than one upload field with a different default upload path.

Surely this is not correct?

When you add the html editor instance to the page, it will add a line similar to:

$CKEditor_config["filebrowserBrowseUrl"] = "webassist/kfm/index.php?uicolor=".urlencode(isset($CKEditor_config["uiColor"])?str_replace("#","#",$CKEditor_config["uiColor"]):"#eee")."&theme=webassist_v2&showsidebar=false&startup_folder=folder1";

the last argument:
&startup_folder=folder1

set the subfolder of the main upload folder that the instance will use, in my example case, I set the upload folder in site settings to use "uploads", this will set the editor to use the uploads/folder1 directory for this instance.

But I am not adding the editor to the page only the file manager,

<div class="htmleditor_upload">
<input type="hidden" name="WADA_RepeatID_ID_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" id="WADA_RepeatID_ID_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" value="<?php echo $row_rs_typeadmin["ID"]; ?>" />
<input type="text" value="<?php echo $row_rs_typeadmin['IMG']; ?>" id="DT_Image_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" name="DT_Image_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" readonly style="float:left;"/>
<div style="float:left;"><img src="../webassist/kfm/themes/webassist_v2/spacer.gif" id="htmleditor_image_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" align="top" /></div>
<img src="../webassist/kfm/themes/webassist_v2/icon_folder.png" width="20" height="18" id="htmleditor_browse_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" name="{dds:'../', startup_folder:'', show_sidebar:true, width:600, height:400}" style="vertical-align:bottom; padding-bottom:2px; visibility: hidden;" /> </div>

hence the issue

in the stand alone file manager, the stratup folder is set in this code:
name="{dds:'../', startup_folder:'', show_sidebar:true, width:600, height:400}"

in your case the startup folder is left blank:
startup_folder:''

So I would need to update it in code view after inserting it? as in

name="{dds:'../', startup_folder:'#FOLDER_HERE#', show_sidebar:true, width:600, height:400}"

If so is the path relevent or set from the site root?

It can be set in the file manager wizard. I just tested it and it was working correctly on my system

it is a sub folder of the main upload setting.
