Sync files and images

Post by caro23 »

I really like this component. However, one thing that seems to always leads to some confusion for users it the distinction between files and images. From an technical perspective, I totally understand the reusability idea behind it. However, in case of galleries with clear 1:1 relationships, this is a bit too much for normal users.
Is there a way to sync files/images? Meaning, if someone updates/deletes and image, also the file will be deleted? Ideally the images/files relation should be hidden completely.
Thanks!

Hi, no, as written in different posts in this forum, there is independent database and filesystem layer. In frontend, when user deletes the image, it will be even deleted on server.
