[TYPO3-dam-devel] RFC #12778: Add softref parser for related DAM records

[Peter Kuehn [wmdb]]

Hi Thorsten, hi DAMsters,

this feature request is a must-have for me - thanks thorsten for finding 
the right spot to solve this! :)

sry - but this is the problem i have with the patch:
as long as the files are not included, id prefer to *not* export 
dam-records over importing records that just create orphans. :(

just to let you know:

not knowing that thorsten works on this issue, wmdb donated some money 
month ago to the coreteam on that (namely to steffen kamper who is in 
charge for impexp) and steffen promised just yesterday, that he will try 
to add the filehandling during the next days - if possible, based on 
thorstens patch. maybe thorsten and steffen could get in contact about 
that or lets just wait to see steffens sugestions.

grtz
pekue
