MediaBin and FormsPublisher

I am able to browse the MediaBin repository from the Forms to browse and import images. However I would like to enable the MediaBin task list so I can perform a specific task before I import the image into TeamSite. The Task list shows up in the File|import option.
What do I need to add in the datacapture.cfg for it to show up.

I am using MediaBin 4.5 with ECM connector.

Thanks!

My understanding is that it is not possible to have a tasks drop-down. You will be able to have only one default task and you can specify what file type output you want (GIF, JPG, JPEG). Refer to the ECM Connector documentation for more information.

The idea behind forms publisher is to make it easy for the end-user and as "dummy proof" as possible. As such, the end user cannot select the retrieval task when using a form.

If you are using the immediate import option (file is imported as soon as user selects it in the browser), you code the appropriate retrieval task into the DCT. If you are using deferred retrievel (import happens in presentation template), you can code whatever logic is appropriate so that you get the correct rendition to match your HTML layout. In order to give some control to the end-user, but still maintain ease-of-use and reduce errors, I've seen the form have a controlled list of options. For example:
Image Size: o Small o Medium o Large

The presentation template looks at the other DCR fields and decides which retrieval task to run or which params to send a more complex retrieval task.
