On the project page, it states that multi-file uploads are possible with fine-uploader.
What parameter needs to be set to make this possible?
Is there an example with progress bars?
Nothing needs to be set to make this possible. By default, Fine Uploader supports the multiple attribute on file input elements. You should be able to select multiple files without setting any related options.
Note that IE9 and older do not support multiple file selection, nor does Android.

Is it possible to open files directly from the list of the stored items. I want to implement this function so that the user can check the files before they getting uploaded.
If you would like to allow users to open submitted files in an external application via the browsers by clicking on these files (for example), this is not really possible. The browser does not provide sufficient access to the file system to make this possible. As Mark mentioned, Fine Uploader will already optionally generate previews for images. We intend to look into providing client-side previews for audio and video files in the future as well.
This is my first project on website development using Joomla. I am trying to make a dashboard implementation. My problem is that whenever I edit my script in article using source tags, the changes are not reflected on my site immediately. I have even tried restarting my Wamp server, but in vain. Any tips that I should follow?
Thanks.
Depending on your Joomla-Version there are different options to check to suppress stripping or filtering of tags like <script> for the frontend. Here are some hints:
First of all your tags could be filtered out client-sided depending on the editor you selected. If you use the standard TinyMCE e.g. go to Extensions - Plugins - TinyMCE where you will find a list of prohibited Elements which may include script. Be exactly sure what you do though, always check who should be allowed to enter script tags in an article, this is almost always a major security risk if anybody else like you as an administrator has the right to use them. So another option could be to just set the editor for your administrator/author accout to plain text and leave TinyMCE untouched.
Another filtering is done server-sided by joomla itself which can be controlled in "Global Configuration" -> "Text filter". After a standard installation all groups will use Default Black List filtering which includes removing script tags. Here you could define "No Filtering" for the Super User group e.g.
Again, all this depends on your Joomla-Version (my examples are referring to 2.5) and are hints to get around the issue but without knowing your security concept.
It is possible to configure image plugin dialog to change defaults (for example, change alignment from to right, HSpace to some value, etc) without actually changing javascript code of the plugin?
The cmbAlign select is in the image.js and seems to be in some long and nested object structure, specifying UI.
What is the right place to introduce the change?
You should take a look at the CKEditor Javascript API which allows you to modify the editor without having to change the original javascript code, see

Suppose I have a .NET web application that contains two panes. One pane is a viewer capable of displaying a variety of large file types. The other pane contains an arbitrary list of files, e.g. file1.docx, file2.xlsx, file3.pptx, file4.txt, file5.doc, file6.htm, file7.zxz, file8.exe etc.
The user is capable of selecting any file in the list and displaying it in the adjacent pane when the selection changes, presumably via client-side Javascript. Given the user has selected some file, e.g. file1.docx, is there a way to prefetch/preload some number of files in the list, e.g. file2.xlsx and file3.pptx while the user is viewing file1.docx?
If this could be done in the background with an asynchronous Ajax-like call, it would make the application appear faster for users who went from file to file in sequence. I am assuming that the prefetch call could be smart enough not to attempt to request files that could not be viewed, e.g. exe files.
Any help or examples would be much appreciated.
Use hidden iframes to load subsequent documents after the first click. Use a plugin detection script to check file extension support prior to allowing the click event. If you want to prerender, then use each browsers prefetch API:

I'm currently extending a custom "Platform" for VC-2010 (it is extremely similar to the standard pipeline and mostly just swaps 'cl' for 'gcc') and have run into a problem with the property pages.
I can't seem to figure out how to force a property page to always be visible. This page is for a tool that will pretty much always be run on a special control file that has many different tools run over it (hence why I don't want to directly link it to the file type via the 'FileExtension' in my 'ProjectSchemaDefinitions' file). So far I've only been able to get property pages to display when I've added a file with the correct 'ItemType' as an 'Item' in the vcproj file.
How can I make it so that my custom property page is always displayed, regardless of whether there is a property group for it in the vcproj file?
Thanks
A fresh look at the code this morning revealed the 'ProjectTools' MSBuild item which seems to do exactly what I want.
