Well. I haven't found a way until now to use the ExtURL Pagetype to link to a
file except pasting the absolute URL into the URL field.

If you have a "Link" field just the relative URL as seen from the TYPO3 root dir
get's stored in the DB.

So if someone could let me know how to set a link to a file in an easy way
(No copy&paste of URLs) it would be fine. If this doesn't work I see a true
resons for using the patch.


greets,
