validation for files/images

[flinguin]

if i validate a fileupload for beeing an image or a specific mime-type i encountered a problem when re-editing the record.

if the validation is set to "always" it fails when simply re-editing the record (e.g. just to change another field) - the user would have to delete and re-upload the file to pass validation even if an image was already uploaded.

if the mime/image-validation is hooked to "fresh" it works fine on creation (as expected) but one could upload any file when re-editing the record.

is there any "standard" way around this aside from a custom validator?
anyway ... it would be great if an image/file validation would pass if no file was uploaded but (a valid one) is already on the server.

thanks

Hi, yeah, I know about this issue, there's no solution right now, in future there will be completely different way of uploading files.
