At the moment, if a user has a file attached to a block and deletes it, there is no confirmation message or warning. The file is just not displayed any more on the block.
I think if we are fixing the version of the block, we should also fix the block itself. I like the idea of having a warning or requiring confirmation before deleting a file, if it's included in a block of a page or in a version of the page. But we don't have an easy way to know if a file is being used. We would need to search on the DB for all block_instance records that have a reference to the file artefact. We would need to check each configdata field that is in serialized form, that for a big DB could take a long time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

User A has a page with the "Image" block and the "Files to download" block. The download block contains both the image and also another file. 2. User A saves that state to the timeline. 3. User A deletes the image that is used in the "Image" block and the "Files to download" block from their file repository. Expected result: The image is still displayed in the timeline. Actual result: The image is not displayed in the timeline neither in the "Image" block nor the "Files to download" block thus not rendering it a true respresentation of the state of that page at that time.
