[Ids-devel] upload of archives (ie tars and zips)

[Jeff M. <jef...@vi...>]

Hi,
I'm starting to think how this would be done. One problem that I can see
is that there is no way to determine if the files that exist in the
archive already exist on the web server's file system. One possible
solution is to simply rename all files that are uploaded via the admin
page. One possible file naming scheme would be to use a combination of
the process id, the current date and time and a sequence number. For
example: YYYYMMDDHHMMPIDSEQ.ext.

I haven't reviewed all the code yet, but it seems that the thumbnails
are generated when they are viewed after being uploaded.

Any thoughts?
