[Bug 605747] Re: Show profile icon files in My Files

 

Ruslan,

I absolutely agree at the very least we need to warn the user before
deleting the default profile icon. I also think we should either make
the description uneditable in my files, or else make sure that profile
icons are clearly displayed differently from ordinary files/images.
Probably the former at this stage.  I don't have a problem with the user
being able to delete & move their profile icons around.

To address your other worries we just need to limit expectations that
the 'profile pictures' folder contains all and only profile pictures.  I
suggested the folder to Eugene, but only as a way to stop automatically
created files from cluttering up your root folder.  There are some other
examples, like 'view files' (created when you copy a view), and
'assessment files' (created when someone attaches a file to feedback on
one of your views).  So let's just give this folder a more neutral name,
like 'Pictures', 'images', 'system', or something.  Then people won't
make the assumption that moving/uploading an image into that folder will
automatically turn it into a profile icon.

Rewriting the profile pictures page to work without js isn't super high
priority at this time, so bug #637026 may have to wait a bit...

Title:
  Show profile icon files in My Files

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Shouldn't the profile icon also sit in "My Files" (maybe in a
  predefined folder "profile icons")? Somebody may want to use it
  somewhere else, e.g. a blog post.
