Is there anyway this plugin would work with an external upload library? about medium-editor-insert-plugin

Interesting idea. I wasn't familiar with the jQuery File Upload until now, but it looks like a way to go. I like the idea of shifting responsibilities to other plugins and focusing only on doing core features right.

Maybe a good solution would be to allow developers to choose - if someone prefers basic jQuery ajax, they can use it, or they can choose jQuery File Upload instead.

I would have a stab at this, but at the moment I'm out of my depth. I work mostly in Ruby, and JavaScript isn't exactly my forte. I'm reading through the code right now, and there are a lot of helpful comments.

Is it possible in theory to hijack the upload method and refer it to another library like jQuery file upload where we can bridge the two plugins programatically?

Would the bulk of the work happen in medium-editor-insert-images.js? Do I need to touch the medium-editor-insert-plugin.js file?

Everything regarding the file upload should be in  medium-editor-insert-images.js file

I made possible to override upload function (67f3910), so if you want, you can replace jQuery ajax with something more sophisticated.

$('.editable').mediumInsert({
  editor: editor,
  addons: {
    images: {
      uploadFile: function ($placeholder, file, that) {
        // DO WHATEVER YOU WANT HERE
      }
    }
  }
});
