Hi,
I'm just wondering why FilePathField is used instead of FileField. The
app appears to be designed for users to upload the content, but a
FilePathField would suggest that these files would have to be there
already, or uploaded via other means. FileField abstracts and does the
uploading for you, so wouldn't it perhaps be better? Was FilePathField
simply chosen to be more flexible?
