[TYPO3-dev] FileReference vs. File

[Bernhard Kraft]

Hi,

Does someone know why at this place in the core always the real file 
object of a file reference is retrieved:

https://git.typo3.org/Packages/TYPO3.CMS.git/blob/refs/heads/TYPO3_7-3:/typo3/sysext/frontend/Classes/ContentObject/ContentObjectRenderer.php#l5476

AFAIK the FileReference Object is as good as a File object. In the 
linked code I do not see the sense why the FileObject is retrieved from 
a reference.

This avoids any later file processing (See @line 5532) to use data from 
the fileReference object.

In my opinion it would make sense to either just pass on the 
FileReference object in $file or at least to pass along any 
$fileReference object to the ->process method.




greetings,
Bernhard
