Whouldn't it be great to have a basic node type called "file", similar to that of image? We could add a description of the file in the node, just like for the img node. We could browse the "file assist" manager to include the file in different pages? Or maybe that already exists?

file as node
ok, maybe not basic, but somewhat similar to images (which are stored anyway in the files directory).
I found the following discussion related to that issue : http://drupal.org/node/52791

Disknode
Have you looked at disknode?

thanks -- not exactly what I am looking for
Thanks,
I just looked at it. Disknode is quite good, however not exactly what I am looking for. I would like to be able to place the links to the files just as the module "inline" does. However, inline requires you to download the on that page where you want to place the link (in attachment). So if for instance I want that same file to be linked to different translations of a page, or another pages altogether, I have to reload the files again on that new page. That doesn't seem to make much sense. Disknode is better in that respect as it allows you to browse the file list and provide a direct link to the file you select. But it shows the links one after the other in the "comments" part of the node. I want it in the body of the node, and not necessarily one after the other. I can use
<a href=...>to link to my files, but that gets very complicated as I have to provide complicated relative paths, which might change when I change the URL alias, etc.Anyone has a suggestion? Maybe a sort of fusion of disknode and inline would work?
thanks a lot in advance!

feature request
Like you already proposed in this issue this is a feature request for inline.module and/or disknode.module.
