History / Attached Documents Permissions and Search

Revisions

  • Attached documents: user guide + two developer pages (discussion #76) Attached-Documents what it does, in plain terms: a file OR a link, one document on several records, who can see it, finding things, and the maintenance job Attached-Documents-Developer-Guide the colour-keyed file tables, the schema and the one decision that shaped it (the parent is a ROW), adding a module, extraction's two tiers, orphan collection, and the things that will bite Attached-Documents-Permissions-and-Search the rule and its consequences: why there is no permissions table, the two shapes of the same question, where the check happens, why attaching is itself a permission operation, why ⌘K asks twice, scale, the file on disk, and what the tests actually cover Split into two developer pages because it is a large feature and permissions is the half somebody will come back to on its own. Sidebar entry under Searching inside tickets, which is where the extraction pipeline this borrows from already lives.
