Here is what I'm trying to do:
- Files can be uploaded to a certain place, which can be structured in a hierachical manner (/my-pictures/class1 and /my-pictures/class2).
- Permissions can be given on the file (at the very least, read permissions on a group/public scope).
- Using a browsing interface, you can access the hierachical structure mentioned above and select a file for linking/inclusion. Imagine this as a replacement for "upload file". You don't upload the file but you link it out of the CR
- The package displays the linked file according to mime/type.
Here is why I though of File-Storage:
- Files can be uploaded and given permission.
- There exists a browsing interface for looking up the files in a hierarchical manner
- Adding a "link me up" from the index page sounded like the easiest thing to do.
Here is why I did not want to use CR directly:
- The upload and permission interface would have to be build
- The browsing interface would have to be build
- I'm too lazy to write up a whole media catalogue like it exists at GPI. Talking of which, maybe I could reuse it ?
