About

  • Purpose: list of places from which files may be slurped into the main repository.
    • This exists mainly for legacy and porting purposes.
  • History:
    • 2010-11-15 Created in order to deal with the fact that we're going to have more than one base URL for images (so we can upload new images to the wiki -- or whatever image server is handy -- and access them directly from there).
    • 2010-11-16 Decided to rename Spec to PathPart for coding clarity.
    • 2017-07-21 Rethinking purpose. Removed ID_Parent, changed MYISAM to InnoDB.

Information about previous version:

  • Purpose: Stores complete information about where files are found and how they can be accessed; sort of a mini-FileFerret.
  • Future: This table only manages paths for one particular access method, i.e. the web (and only for read-only access). In the future we might have another table which gives methods for modifying (moving, renaming, adding, deleting) files. Ideally different methods would be consolidated into one more general-purpose table, but this is a task-specific table, so we're not going to do that. Maybe that functionality will be handled by FileFerret, and this app will simply provide links to integrate with that.
