Every time i upload a file it will be dropped in a single map
if i remove the page with attachement - the file still exists.

First

That is not a big problem if
1. i recreate a page with the same desired file
and i can relink the existing file to a
2. i can remove the file by request

Second

Is it possible to link files to users
or to day-ofweek-and-time
to topic, subjects, urlpath, metatag?

if so, files can be ordered in a more
cleaner and structural way.

Files stored in one map is not the main problem
files stored without relations are a big mess.

What do you think?

a) does such mod exist?
b) is there a need for such mod?
c) are there any counter arguments ?

I know there are filemanagers out there

Java/Ajax driven - but that is not what i like
because:

1. i want to control the file-action while adding a page

2. Not wanting to login as Admin all the time

3. Serving a file sensitive page for all kind of users

For the benefit of others, when heraux says "map" I think "directory" is meant (the Dutch - English thing...)

In Drupal 6 the 'files' table *does* link files to users, if function file_save_upload is used. The upload module uses the table 'upload' table to link files to nodes. Does that help any?
