[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.
