Hi Mads,

What do you think should be possible with versioning and workspaces in relation
to DAM? Maybe you have noticed that the fileadmin is disabled when you are in a
Draft Workspace. This is done on purpose so files (assets) cannot be removed
accidentaly or on purpose. What does make sense is that there can be versions of
uploaded document or assets. Rupert did a hack for some old DAM version to make
that function with documents and a document management extension. The versioning
is used there however to have the possibility to view former versions of the
document in the frontend. I can imagine that this kind of functionality could
also be available for other assets to be able to roll back to a previous
version. If I am correct at this moment you can only overwrite a file now.
