Add User reference in FileObject

[20]

Hi,

I'm working on a django application to save files also in a git-annex repository to create distributed media repository. I'd like to integrate to django-filebrowser. Is there any idea to include some reference to the user in fileobject as a owner? I saw there was some people in the old issue tracking on google code that was looking for something similar.

Thanks,
Vince

what exactly do you mean by "owner"? the person who uploaded the file? could you even spot that with os (or stat)?

if you´re talking about djangos auth.user, that´s not being stored with the file – so there´s no option to retrieve that information.

Hi,

I mean the person who uploaded the file. For files not uploaded from django can leave owner unset and give the admin (or some group/role) set ownership. This update could give the possibility to integrate filebrowser in a wider range of situation-application.

where is this user being stored? how could we get that information with a fileobject?

Ehm.. I don't know :) filebrowser create fileobject on the fly? :) I supposed that the fileobject was persistent, so you could store a reference to the user. So.. any idea?
