Hi all,
We'd like to write a patch to move
I would also like to suggest while you are doing this, please add a way to
manage this directory from Koha. I would see it as a huge asset if an

Mengu, I read Mark as saying he's been there as well, stuck on a version

By writing the tests first, you know what you are coding towards, and have
full test coverage for what you are going to provide a patch for. This makes
everything easier for reviewing. The test plan becomes: run the

Thanks for everyone's comments.
We've developed this kind of feature first for 3.20 version with more
than 1,600,000 users in the past.
Some of our new customers also wanted this feature for new versions and
with your comments, we'll start to write it soon.
Thanks everyone !

I kind of disagree with a few points. I see no harm in storing the

Mmmm... no. People doing backups might forget to supplement
the default Koha backup with that specific directory, and come a
system failure and a restore later... they discover the photos are

I think this is a good idea. There's no reason not to offer it as a

By this change, we'd like to satisfy following.
1. The size of database backup will be decreased, by this way one may
