That would be great!

At one time there was the idea to drop Global for installing extensions 
at all. There were enough people who actually used globally installed 
extensions to not drop it.

In the extension manager it was just an unfinished feature. During 
development of the EM the possible locations were just hardcoded in the 
javascript and this part was never finished to reflect the 
allow...Install settings.

In typo3/sysext/em/res/js/em_components.js lines 594-607 the selector is 
defined:
TYPO3.EM.UploadLocationCombo = new Ext.form.ComboBox({

This refers to TYPO3.EM.LocationStore for the available options. This is 
defined in the same file on lines 502-511:
TYPO3.EM.LocationStore = new Ext.data.JsonStore({

I tried to define a store (like in em_repositorylist.js lines 71... ), 
but couldn't make this work.

I hope to have some time tonight to make a dummy store provider in PHP. 
If you can get the ExtJS stuff working the PHP part is very easy...

Thanks for having a look at it!
