In reality, we should anticipate this as a fairly common need, and just pass the upload location through apply_filters, or perhaps extract the code that determines this location into a pluggable function. > I have serious doubts about how complete this functionality will be at > 2.0's launch. I think that applies to a lot of 2.0, to be honest. We need real rigorous testing of: * Image uploading * TinyMCE * Cache * Roles system All the big bits of new code. Although they're not as buggy as they have been, there are still a lot of bugs floating around here. > * Can't set the size. > * Can't store them in a subdirectory. > * Can't customize their names. > * Can't create thumbnails (even placeholders) for non-image mime types. > * Can't use alternate routines for thumbnail creation (Imagemagick, et al). The first seems like a candidate for a core option, the second, third and fifth candidates for a plugin, and the last one should come when the uploading supports more mime types. -- -David House, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://xmouse.ithium.net _______________________________________________ wp-testers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
