more file field feature requests...

please forgive my cross posting of this in the forum.. wasn't sure where it would get the attention it deserves...

I have been dreaming of the file field for CCK...

I think it should look alot like this:
http://www.plone4artists.com/
to see the Jupload drag and dropper just register here
http://www.plone4artists.com/join_form
and login

that is so powerful, to be able to drag and drop and make nodes is ideal.
this is the only way i will get my end users to post content. i mean lots of photos.. lots of media!
this could be integrated with your module and cck in the following way...

the jupload could be a field type with the option to allow each file to become a seperate node or as many attachments of a singe node ...

Categorization:
for categorization there could be a drop down select or a freetagging box could be allowed for either each file/node or all files/nodes at once... brilliant!

Related Nodes:
the uploaded files could make nodes that are simply RELATED to the parent node like children.... example... content type is an album.... you drag and drop the mp3's..... they make children nodes which are of the type "song".. you can then edit them and upload the samples you used in that song... they become children of the content type "sample".....

Allow a "create a child node of the following content type"
another useful field type.. ... someone can chose the samples and/or songs they sampled and simply click a link to create another node of the content type... "remix".. would appear as a link at the teaser or footer "create a remix" ...

so I suppose when you add a drag and drop field to a content.type you can specify which file extensions will create nodes of which content type AND/OR widgets...
example:

file extension definitions for album content type:
file type content type widget
.mp3, wav, .aif song optional stream or download
.jpg, .gif, swf album art(1st image is teaser,, popup window image with description extended on teaser)
.m3u stream or podcast whole album
.avi, .mov, .qt music video

file extension defintions for song content type:(has seperate field for main mp3)
file type content type widget
.mp3, .wav, .aif samples audio preview(stream)
.als ableton live project file()
npf nuendo project file

file extension defintions for remix content type:(has sepearate single field for the main remix mp3)
file type content type widget
.mp3, .wav, .aif samples audio preview(stream)
.als ableton live project file()
npf nuendo project file

There would need to be a way to show/filter all content types for a cetain user...
ie: my songs, my samples, my remixes, my albums... would this be a widget?

this would get those kids uploading! I will pay alot of money to see this come to life!

thanks!
