[TYPO3-dam] bug in tx_dam: wrong pid/uid with links

[Stephan I.]

hello dam-list

thanks to Torsten Schrade, the developer of the wonderful EXT 
"damlightbox" which, to my knowledge, is the only slidebox that extracts 
and displays meta data from DAM pictures, i can now be more precise 
about the sometimes strange behavior of DAM regarding references/usage.

see also my thread (June 2009) which additionally shows a screenshot of 
the wrongly put DAM-references:

http://lists.netfielders.de/pipermail/typo3-project-dam/2009-June/002589.html 


and please excuse my non-professional approach to the explanation of the 
bug - i am still in the process of learning the hard part of TYPO3, i.e. 
core coding.

here an example:

1) a picture has uid=1407/pid=34 (DAM media storage sysfolder). in 
tx_dam_mm_ref this file is correctly referenced to a tt_content element 
with uid=3627/pid=640 and has the correct entry as "DAM Media" (Content 
field) and "Inserted media" (Type of reference).

2) a CE exists with the same uid=1407, but a different pid=661. every 
link to this CE is correctly called by the typolink <link 661#1407>.

3) but this reference to the CE (pid=661/uid=1407) is now wrongly added 
to the list of the DAM tab instructions/usage of the picture with the 
uid=1407/pid=34. and is of the type "Text" (Content field) and "Link to 
file" (Type of reference).

so the list in DAM tab instructions/usage collects only uid? instead of 
uid/pid?

thanks for explanation, hint and help.
