  In previous version, I modified the ImageEditorDialog to automatically select a default upload folder based on the users role.
  
  unfortunately with the latest sitefinity (3.6sp2) by default, the provider matches the library to the user NAME, and if not found, automatically selects the FIRST library regardless of what it is.
  
  I don't want my users dumping all of their images because they neglect to change the library (and believe me, they will) so I want to be able to control which library is selected based on their role.
  
  unfortunately, the SelectedLibrary property is a PRIVATE variable in the ImageEditorDialog control, so I have no way of overriding the default behavior described above.
  
  Please consider changing this in the next version, and if there is ANY WAY to work around this, please let me know, because we really need this feature back...

  Hi SelArom,
  
  unfortunately with the latest sitefinity (3.6sp2) by default, the provider matches the library to the user NAME, and if not found, automatically selects the FIRST library regardless of what it is.
  
  The first library is selected by default until the user change it. As you have noticed this is done in the code, so that there is no temporarily workaround.  We have logged your requirement as a feature request.

  Is there a way to do this now in version 3.7 SP3?
  ie. setting the default image library in the image library dialog...
  
  Thanks!

  Hi James,
  
  It is not supported out of the box. This requires implementing a custom selector as described in this forum post
