Is there a better k2 image uploader out there?

 

I'm talking about the "Image" button at the lower left of the article edit screen.

The link points to /administrator/index.php?option=com_media&view=images&tmpl=component&e_name=text

It is a "media manager" that might have come with core joomla but I'm not sure.

 

The problem is that once editors have uploaded a large amount of images.. the loading of that iframe becomes extremely slow.  Imagine opening a page with over 1500 images each at 250k+... It crashed my browser several times just trying to load the iframe.  Making things worse is that there aren't any options to create folders so that the images could be better organized.

 

So I'm wondering if there's a better image/media manager out there for k2 articles?

Or should I be looking at a upgrade for core Jooma "media manager"?

 

Joomla 1.5.18

K2 v2.3

 

Thanks!
