IMCE integration instructions
IMCE is "an image/file uploader and browser that supports personal directories and quota." (see drupal.org/project/imce)
It provides additional functionality over the default file browser of FCKeditor, such as resizing of images, thumbnail generation and file deletion. The FCKeditor module allows for easy integration such that you can benefit from all functionality of IMCE without changing the way you work.

Installation
Both the FCKeditor and IMCE need to be installed before they can be integrated. Setup FCKeditor and IMCE to your liking before you continue, and check that IMCE works by visiting the File Browser tab on your account page.
FCKeditor module version 5.x-2.1 or 6.x-1.2
Go to the FCKeditor settings and choose the FCKeditor profile that you want to change to IMCE. In the tab "File browser settings" you will see the setting "IMCE integration", which is only visible if IMCE was detected correctly. Set this to true to activate IMCE.
FCKeditor module version 5.x-2.2 or 6.x-1.3
Lot has changed concerning IMCE integration in these versions (starting with beta 2). The "IMCE integration" setting has been replaced with a "File browser type" selection box. If IMCE is detected correctly, it will show the IMCE option, which you can select to enable IMCE. Please note that the paths still have to be setup if you want to use Quick Upload.
Usage
IMCE will replace the built-in file browser such that you can use the image, flash and link dialog just like you did before. When you click Browse on server, you will now see the IMCE file browser instead of the built-in one. The IMCE file browser contains a button labeled "Send to FCKeditor" which will return the currently selected file to FCKeditor.
Known issues
The quick upload functionality may malfunction in different ways when the IMCE integration is enabled in FCKeditor module versions 5.x-2.x and 6.x-1.x. This will be fixed in the versions 5.x-2.2 and 6.x-1.3.
Comments
Hello I use TinyMCE, it
Hello I use TinyMCE, it works fine, however I have some problems with inserting images. I found IMCE Project, which is an image/file browser and can be integrated with TinyMCE. I saw this demo: http://ufku.com/drupal/imce/demo and this is exactly what I need. However the installation instructions are very unclear. Has anyone managed to make IMCE work with TinyMCE? I would appreciate if you could write how it should be done. Thanks! vcp410
Change Label
Is there a way to change the label "Send to FCKeditor"? My users don't know (nor should they have to be) that the name of the editor they're using is FCKeditor, and this is confusing to them. In fact one of my clients thought this was a four letter word and was very upset that it was showing on their site. I would like to change simply to "Use Image" as I am only using IMCE for image upload, but a more generic "Use File" would work as well.
If there's not a method already in place to change this label, it would be great if it were at least configurable through the string overrides module.
