MrCaspan So the UUID is just randomly generated and not tied to anything (IE Generated from UserName or a hash for that user to prove permissions or something)? If not I could just make up my Own UUIDs for the imported files?
The UUID is time based, but it can be anything. The reason it is time based is to prevent it from clashing with an existing one. The reason UUID is used instead of an auto incrementing ID is to prevent clashes on highly volatile communities.
MrCaspan Is there a reason why attachments were added as in line apposed to under a post? Just curious more then its an issue? It would seem simpler no to just have a file associated with a post and it just shows up no?
That's how the implementation was/has been. There's never been a reason/request to add files as attachments to posts.
MrCaspan I went back to the post that had this attachment on it and the file download button was still there, but when you click it you get an error in JSON (for obvious reasons, the file is gone)
Yeah, when you delete a file from the media manager it doesn't delete the asset. There's a command I wrote some time ago that should clean things up, but it misbehaved in certain situations and was never fixed, but disabled, as far as I can tell
