- 3 types of sites
- 1. 1 or 2 people uploading to a blog or corporate or org website
- 2. flickr or sites like it
- 3. people uploading various files to others
- approaches of existing file
- Users should have to worry about type of file (audio, video)
- User should just upload file
- What about Mime Registry module?
- Actions firing on mime type?
- Proposal do this in a layered approach
- Database abstraction layer like system for files
- Store on NTFS or MySQL or .... wherever you want
- Hooks for all events (when viewed, something being done on server)
- Don't have these hooks for now
- Boris: rewrite file api, concentrate on more than uploading and file permissions e.g. invoke thumbnailer when Quicktime move uploaded, wants remote file storage
- Moshe: file API let's you store your file where you want, just need a hook when something is entering the File API
- Have files attached to any object e.g. terms?
- Something needs to be done, just proposal stage!
- Talk in other room?
- Image related modules are the most downloaded?
- Put Image in core? Biggest user requirement
- Need img + img_assist
