Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/18934 Project: Drupal Version: 4.5.2 Component: file system Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: Bèr Kessels Updated by: Bèr Kessels Status: patch This simple patch by Robert Douglas introduces a fileapi hook. Nothing fancy, nothing difficult and most of all harldy any performance overhead. It simply allows modules to hook into the data of the file on: insert delete update load The reason why this should be here, and not in nodeapi, is because, for example media.module wants to "do stuff" with the file, like get id3 data and put that into a table on upload of a file. Another valid use case would be to be able to track and count downloads. Yet another case would be some file renaming, or organising in directories. Bèr Bèr Kessels
