The DBFM module is an off-shoot of WebFM, designed to store files in a database as opposed to the filesystem.
This change was made to enable mutli-site replication of filesystem data.
DBFM is, in much the same way as WebFM, the file manager is based on a hierarchical directory structure unlike the traditional flat file-system used to date. DBFM uses AJAX to allow administrators to arrange files in the database in the same way they do with file managers on their personal systems.
New Features:
- Added the ability to not have unique filenames. This is useful for e.g. the files directory, since those files typically don't change over time, and unique filenames would also result in ugly filenames.
