[TYPO3-dam] DAM and 4.1

[Thomas Oppelt]

Hi!

i d like to know if the predefined TCA entries for usage in own 
extension within dam/tca_media_field.php (1.0.8) will work with upcoming 
typo 4.1 core + mmforeign or what the TCA has to look like if mmforeign 
is skipped...seems the whole getSingleField_typeMedia process within 
tx_dam_tcefunc has to be fixed then...? What about extensions like 
dam_ttcontent which depends on that function?

cheers
tom
