According to this comment by Dopry, filefield and revisions interaction should be handled by core cck (http://drupal.org/node/130269#comment-701953), so I thought i could post this question here.

Is it possible now with the latest version of filefield and cck to have different files for different revisions of the same node?

The idea here is to create a simple file manager based on drupal, where a file is actually a node attachement so we can tag the node and use the power of drupal to organize the information (using OG, taxonomy, nodereference, etc.) The only problem with that solution is that it seems that cck and filefield don't allow to have a different file per revision setup. Is this still true, or that feature would be working now since those comments in the issue above were made in the beginning of the year??

Thanks for any insight regarding this feature I need!

CCK field data are already stored by node revision. Someone more familiar with filefield probably needs to summarize why this is not enough for filefields and word a specific request.

hello yched, I'm sorry I did not had the time to comment back on this issue, but it does work and this is excellent news. I was thinking it did not work 'cause of an outdated discussion about the feature on the issue queue, but I tested now and it does indeed work perfectly!

Home made file management system, here I come!
