Active updating and Internationalisation issues.

I would like to hear other ideas from File Path users. Actually fixing this behavior is crucial in multilingual sites (especially if you want file order).

Without active updating, everything works quite well - you can't use [node:title] token cause when you update node title, path to file won't change, but simply [node:nid] works fine ([node:language] is quite useful too, for i18n sites).

Again, the way File Paths works now (WITHOUT active updating and WITH [node:nid] as a folder): If you have node in EN (nid-100 for example) and you add some files to it, when translating to FR (nid-101) with SAME files (without adding new files to translation) File Paths won't create a new folder (cause it uses all files from previously created node, nid-100). However when you add some new images or change those you have used in EN node, File Paths will create new folder (nid-101) and put there ONLY new or modified (replaced) files.

This is dangerous behavior for some other modules, like colorbox... Cause even in FR language node (nid-101) links inside node are connected with other node folder (nid-100). It could be disorienting.

The good thing is when you delete the first (EN nid-100) node, File Paths keeps it's folder with all files used by translated node (FR, nid-101). The bad thing is, it leave empty folders (when you delete both nodes).

I'm sure @Deciphered experience is unquestioned and with other ppl advices it will be 'fixed' (basic functionality of this module is preserve). As I said before I would like to hear other ppl opinion in this particular case. There is almost 25 thousands sites using this module. I think it's one of basic drupal modules you will use on almost every major site. So please give us feedback how you are seeing File Paths working.

I think that copying all files from basic folder to translated node folder would fix this problem. Deleting default language node would not impact translated one, and vice versa. Active updating change file path in drupal database. In file_usage table item appear twice so maybe in file_menage table it should appear twice too with proper path off course.

I see you guys tested this module thoroughly. I don't have much to add besides 'Active Update' need some love. Copying files need twice as much disc space so actually pointing all images and files to one folder is a good thing. If english language is your default, all images should be stored in english nodes, and only if you delete it, they should be moved to translated one. This however could impact other modules usability so it need some tests. They simply should get image path AFTER Pathauto/Transliteration/ File Paths modules do made changes on it.

By the way, very good work on beta3 but I receive this message:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in views_handler_field_user_picture->render() (line 63 of C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\sites\all\modules\views\modules\user\views_handler_field_user_picture.inc).

all the time.

edited. If somebody feel aggrieved I'm sorry. I was referring to above error I got with File Paths (to not take it too seriously cause of... other issue :) not @batigol opinion.

Heh try to add marketplace on top of it and it's a disaster :)

Anyway I'm starting a new project so i guess i will test all modules again and see if something got an improvement!
