Is it possible to disable FFP for a certain field? [#1572206]

As I'm having a hard time using Filefield Paths together with Filedepot (see #1572170: Incompatibility with File (Field) Paths) I'm wondering if its somehow possible to disable Filefield Path on a per-field (or content type) basis? Filedepot works nicely when FFP is disabled and puts its file inside its directory structure, but all other file fields should be processed by FFP.

If I could somehow disable FFP processing for the field "filedepot_folder_file" everything should work fine.

Regards,
Daniel

@Daniel,

I had the same problem. I have added an admin page to select all the fields for which we don't wan't ffp settings to be applied. Attaching the patch here.

It would make more sense to me to have the setting on the Field settings page, a simple checkbox where the File (Field) Path settings are currently, that when toggled on will hide the existing File path settings and replace it with the File (Field) Path settings using the FAPI #states attribute.

This approach means it can be done on a field-by-field basis without the need for additional pages.

I would also say that it should be an on by default as off by default could confuse new users of the module and potentially break things for existing users.

Cheers,
Deciphered.
