I'm not so sure about this. Comment files are different from other files in that they don't live in the feedback giver's file area but the feedback receivers. If we were to use the current implementation of the file browser, the file would be uploaded to the feedback giver who then attaches it to a comment for the feedback receiver, making the file live in two places. That would also mean that an instructor ends up with all of those files in their personal files area that they would then need to remove. It would also mean that the file would be stored twice.
If you do want to use the regular file browser, would we then need an alert (that most people will ignore) stating that any file uploaded will not be saved in the personal file area yet you can still choose an already uploaded file? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

But it would be better if you could also chose from existing files that you've already uploaded / exist in you Create -> Files area. The comments code uses 'files' pieform element to do what it currently does - but we also have the 'filebrowser' pieform element that allows us to upload or pick from existing uploads. We should look at making the comment system use the 'filebrowser' option as well as phase out other places using the 'files' pieform element so we have better consistency in the Mahara system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1949311/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
