Any suggestions for general file/asset management? I've looked at previous solutions like IMCE and asset modules. I also remember things like the acid gallery and stuff. I've also just found the recent media module. I'm looking for what is the current accepted solution for this type of problem. Any insight or advice? <br>

Unfortunately file management is one of the big weaknesses in Drupal 6,
and I've never<br>
found a solution that I really liked. There are a lot of efforts
toward improving that in D7<br>
(the Media project, and assorted core file handling improvements) but
for now there are<br>
only half-measures.<br>
<br>
John's suggestion is one of the reasonable methods, and IMCE plus
TinyMCE is the common<br>
way to manage embedded images.<br><font color="#888888">

<pre>Hey there, Gaston. (I aplogize for not spelling your name quite
right, but I'm not sure how to produce that o with my keyboard.)
Basically, once a file is uploaded, it exists in the files directory -
so if you know the name, you can fairly easily use it (as in an image
tag) anywhere you like.
As for associating that file with another node, that I'm not as
familiar with off of the top of my head.
(Indeed, for re-using image files, I've tended to use an image node,
which consists of a simple node with an imagefield, and then using
nodereference to associate it with various nodes.)

<pre>Hi everybody!
I'm using the upload module to upload files into the Drupal nodes. The
question is, how can I reuse the files uploaded in a particular node in
other nodes? Exists a module to do this?
thanks
