I (and I think most of us) strongly agree. �That's the whole point of standardization. �:-)<br>
<br>
Personally, I don't think the case Markus pointed out is at all a show stopper. �In the case of images, the server could easily recognize and reconcile duplicates (by hashing them and looking for duplicate hashes or something). �If the image has been tweaked some in the mean time, the EXIF data can help. �And so on....this seems like the type of thing clever developers can work around.<br>
<br>
But regardless.....I don't think you could argue that having _some_ path information is worse than _none_, right?<br>
<br>
I also agree with Jonas that if some path information is added, it might be better to create a new property (other than .name) for it.<br>
<br>
And, with or without that extra property, I think what Ian's suggesting would be useful to users.<br>

Yes I see Anne's and your points. Anyway I don't see yet how to get _useful_ path information, as the same file can be posted as /a/b/1.jpg, and at the next occasion as 1.jpg or /b/1.jpg, just based on where in the upload dialog you did make the start point.<br>
<br>
Relying on information contained in the uploaded file does not seem to make sense to me, as you might want to upload a new file with the same name in order to replace the old one.<br>
