Please make patches against core, since this will help everyone long term, rather than just those who build/maintain an alternate file handling structure.
I second that. Core's file handling, both the file API and the upload.module need love.
They do, and I have been trying to fight hard for things like audio.module stay the course with the core API and work to improve that rather than everyone doing their own thing (as I have done for image as well). File/Media handling is (as far as I'm concerned) a major hot button to be addressed in the next release, and I intend to start "rallying the troops" in the near future and putting patches where our mouths are. Those who have thoughts on the issue and haven't already (and there's already some great stuff) have a look through http:// groups.drupal.org/file-api. -- James Walker :: http://walkah.net/ :: xmpp:walkah@walkah.net
