Of course ther are a few bugs,and yes yes the CSS needs some work too.

• Installation :

Just replace all of the files in

/joomla/adminstrator/components/com_media with the files from above package.

Make sure PHP-GD is enabled and in case you are dealing with large images(you really need to most of the times!),do increase the POSTSIZE  in your PHP.ini

Minor Issues:

• Of course ther are a few bugs,and yes yes the CSS needs some work too.
