[Erp5-dev] Files in DMS image_module - supported?

[Łukasz Nowak]

Hello,

Using portal_contributions there is a way to add Files. They are sent
into image_module. But its listbox is not showing files (patch
attached).

Also there is no possibility to add File manually in image_module.

Questions:
* do files shall go into image module?
* if not, where is module for files?

Regards,
Luke

They shouldn't go to Image Module. Where is it defined? I am sorry, but I
don't know so much about DMS.

Argh! It depends on what I do.

If I added something, what is recognized as File, without choosing
portal type by hand it goes into document_module.

But I added a.out, chosen Image portal type. It is put into
image_module, but recognized as File. Is it a bug or feature?

To reproduce
* get a.out
* add in portal_contributions, without choosing any portal type
* it will be added in document_module, object's portal type - File

* get a.aout
* add in portal_contributions, choose Image portal type
* it will be added in image_module, object's portal type - File

I stepped into it, by adding TIFFs as Image (right now I updated
my portal_contribution_registry to recognize tiff and tif extension
as Image).

Luke

I think it should be counted as a bug. :)

But, honestly, I don't know what should happen in this case. One way is to
show an error message, such as "Your file was not recognized as an image".
Or, implicitly switching to File. I don't know what the best is.
