[TYPO3-english] duplicate images

[Peter Kuehn [wmdb]]

Hi Paul,

You defined your Formfield as
   <type>group</type>
   <internal_type>file</internal_type>
   <uploadfolder>uploads/tx_templavoila</uploadfolder>

Documentation for the key uploadfolder [1] reads

"Filefolder under PATH_site in which the files are stored.
Example: 'uploads' or 'uploads/pictures'
Notice: TYPO3 does NOT create a reference to the file in its original 
position! It makes a copy of the file into this folder and from that 
moment that file is not supposed to be manipulated from outside. Being 
in the upload folder means that files are understood as a part of the 
database content and should be managed by TYPO3 only."

This is the oldschool-way TYPO3 handles filerelations, that ought to be 
replaced by the digital asset management (DAM). Unfortunately there are 
still existing bugs [3] inside the core so that you *cant* use DAM and 
TemplaVoila with FCE´s atm.

DAM uses MM-relations to store the references and again the core api 
docs [1]:
"MM relations has been tested to work with flexforms if not in a 
repeated element in a section."
where "repeated element" means FCE.

There will be a coding session during the devdays in may, where we will 
try to solve these issues. For the time being I dont see a solution for 
your probs.
