--- Comment #7 from Liz Rea <wizzyrea at gmail.com> ---
I was unable to get this to work, I think I need some additional information
regarding setup parameters.

Namely:

Where do the paths to be input into the authorised velue start from, / or
/var/lib/koha/<instance>/uploads or somewhere else? This needs documentation at
least.

I was expecting to be able to get to the hashless files by going to them at
http://host/uploads/custom/path/file.jpg type of URL, but this didn't work that
I could see. It could be related to the above question. The files did seem to
get uploaded to the directory, but I was unable to retrieve them with a
reasonable URL. I believe that's what the requester is probably looking for.

The interface for finding uploaded files needs a LOT of work, though
technically that is independent of this development (but actually, it's kinda
not!). Users will have to be very disciplined with file names and potentially
have external documentation to have a hope of finding files using a search
only. I think this interface needs rework urgently to have either a gallery
style or directory hierarchy style display. Even a link to "list all files"
with their web URL and/or file system path (as security allows) would be a huge
improvement.

Cheers,
Liz
