[xwiki-users] How to manage deleted attachments while filesystem is on?
Hi, All There is a problem in XWiki which makes work with attachments very painful when filestorage is on: no way to manage them. Actually no "recycle bin" available for them in this case. There is an issue in jira: XWiki.DeletedAttachments shows nothing when filesystem attachments are enabled . What are plans in fixing it? Kind regards, Dmitry
I'd like to get this working but it's a bit of a headache. When I originally developed FS attachments, I didn't realize there was an application (XWiki.DeletedAttachments) which was looking for attachments.... in the database. Since they're gone from the database now this application is unhappy. I just need to find time to write a workaround for the issue and a migrator to put fake attachments in the database so that XWiki.DeletedAttachments sees what it wants to see.

Hi, Caleb, Is this task in any close Roadmap? Because now the only way I see to handle this is to turn off attachment's recycle bin to avoid mess in filesystem. Is it correct from XWiki's poin of view to copy deleted file back to the /attachments/<filename> folder in order to resore it? Is it enough or something else should be done for this? (it's in case of accidental cituation for now) By the way: what happens now from database and filesystem point of view if page with attachments is deleted? Are attachments restorable in a proper way if being restored together with page? Any unknown problems expected? Пятница, 22 ноября 2013, 9:13 +01:00 от Caleb James DeLisle <[email protected]>:

The next two versions are going to be stabilization versions which means we want to avoid "new features" and internally this is a matter of implementing a new feature. Moving files around on your filesystem is not supported at all, it will corrupt your wiki. If you delete an attachment using the normal method, it goes in the deleted attachments directory (there are also changes in the database which is why you must not move files). Deleting the attachment creates a new version of the document. If you rollback the document it will restore the deleted attachment. If you delete the document and then click delete again to permanently expunge the document from history, the attachment will be removed from your system. This is the same with DB and FS attachments.
