On a short term, would the fileapi patch not solve a lot of these problems? AFAIK with that patch we can do all this filemagik, with one module, instead of letting all that "stuff" over to the module developers (they are amongst the most lazy coders, IMO) Ber Op donderdag 30 juni 2005 19:38, schreef Robert Douglass:
The "famous Craig patch" is even better than that; a full functioning module that you can install and use right away to manage your uploads. You could probably also rewrite image module to use it instead of the current file API.

it works with the attachment module to basically do what the upload module in core currently does.
