Files not exposed to rules [#1604806]

I am using plupload to bulk upload multiple videos to one node. It's working great. The problem is, I would like to use rules to create a product for each video uploaded. Unfortunately, it seems that I cannot access this field in rules. I did bring the content type into scope. It would be very helpful to be able to reference the original, converted and thumbnail files. Thanks.

I don't have much experience with rules. In 7.x-2.x-dev I changed the way the video data is loaded, so now all transcoded videos are available in the data array associated with a field.

Let's say there is a node with a field called video and it has one entry, the array would now look like:

field_video
 -> und
   -> 0
     -> fid = 123
     -> filename = original.mp4
     -> ... other file related properties
     -> playablefiles : array of all converted files
     -> thumbnail: fid of thumbnail
     -> thumbnailfile: object of thumbnail

I don't know how rules works internally, you may already be able to access these properties without further modifications to the video module. Unfortunately, I do not have time to expand the rules support of the video module.
