Hello @devinsays https://github.com/devinsays, is there a way to choose
files already uploaded? I am using a Logo setting in my client project. In
case the logo image is removed, we have to upload a image again. Similar to
Options framework is there no way to allow users to pick a image already
uploaded?

I did a little digging through the core code. It looks like WP_Customize_Image_Control allows you to access uploads within the same "context", i.e. you've uploaded one, removed it, then uploaded another. But not the whole media library.

Do you have an example of a theme that has a control like this? I could see how they've implemented it.

@devinsays I have never seen it in any theme. Honestly I have avoided customizer until you released this code. Been using your options framework since ages.

I think this would be a great addition as well. I've seen this in plugins like this:

Clicking "Insert Image" will load the Media Gallery showing existing images and also allows for new uploads.

@jamigibbs Ye, it is easier to implement that in theme Options, plugin settings or widget area. Like @devinsays said earlier, it has to do with how the customization is implemented in the core. I have download few premium themes to see if anyone has this but so far no luck.

Themify (http://themify.me) has very advanced customizer controls built into their theme framework, which does use the media library, rather than uploading every time. In fact, everything about their use of customizer is exemplary, to say the least. I just wish I was better at developing so I could figure out how they do it.

This is currently winding its way through core:
