In fact there are three types of file choosers in Mahara 
1 files:       where you can upload but not choose existing files (eg seen when adding a comment)
2 filebrowser: where you can choose existing and also upload files (eg seen when adding an image block to a page)
3 artefactchooser: where you can pick existing files only (eg adding a background to a skin)

We should sort thing out so that they all use the same thing

Title:
  Comment attachments to use 'filebrowser' instead of 'files' pieform
  element

Status in Mahara:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently when you want to add an attachment to a comment you can only
  upload it from your local storage/computer.

  But it would be better if you could also chose from existing files
  that you've already uploaded / exist in you Create -> Files area.

  The comments code uses 'files' pieform element to do what it currently
  does - but we also have the 'filebrowser' pieform element that allows
  us to upload or pick from existing uploads.

  We should look at making the comment system use the 'filebrowser'
  option as well as phase out other places using the 'files' pieform
  element so we have better consistency in the Mahara system
