This is (will be) also a use case for the Contacts app. > My idea for providing a proper way to access files outside the users home > folder without making oc_filesystem harder to use for 90% of the use cases > is to add a new class oc_filesystemview, which can create a "view" into > ownCloud's virtual file system simular to oc_filesystem, only without > having to be locked into the users home folder. As the lazy SOB that I am, I still haven't read through the code to figure out how the OC_Filesystem API works. Which brings me to the point that as OC_Filesystem is the foundation upon which ownCloud is build, it really should be better documented. I know for a fact that there are other lazy coders out there, who will take a shortcut and create a custom solution, rather than figuring out the internals work - and what the bigger vision is. -- Med venlig hilsen / Best Regards Thomas Tanghus _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
