Hi, I am using the FC file manager for a download archive. Is there a way to replace/update existing files without deleting the old one?

mmm , yes you can upload via ftp a file with the same name, but the information of the list in the file manager tab will not be updated, unless you edit manually with phpmyadmin.

I have opened issue 320
code.google.com/p/flexicontent/i ... ail?id=320
Some times a file is already assigned to many items, deleting the old one and reuploading is not convenient or feasible if items are too many.

Plus we need
-- a list of items using a file in a file fields.
-- a list of items using an image in image fields.
-- a counter of items using an image in minigallery fields
-- a list of items using an image in minigallery fields

Current file manager only supports 2 folders secure and media.

Also issue 308:
code.google.com/p/flexicontent/i ... ail?id=308
Allow subfolders in the file manager:
-- either modify file manager by adding an extra psrsmeter called "sub-folder"
-- or since we already have the "directory" parameter in the file manager to make media and secure folders able to have sub-folders

-- Also maybe allow media field (minigallery and maybe image too) to use files that are not entered in the filemanager but instead use files for a per item folder, or a per item+field folder
The above means that you will enter a folder AAA in the configuration of the field and then the minigallery of each item will display files from folder e.g. AAA/item_864/

Regards

Hello, I want to know how to add a field to edit the "altname" a file in the filemanager when you load a file locally?
It's the same principle as for the tab "add the url of a file."

You mean you want the file name (or the file description) to appear when you hover over a file field in the frontend?

or You want to be able to re-edit a file and change name and/or description / and/or replace file?


PS:
I think it is needed to be able to edit a file (name, description(new in v1.5.6) and replace file), and also update, fields: file, image, minigallery so that they use the description
