[dev] Ansel question/upgrade info

[Michael Rubinsky]

First, a question - Was the 'copy' image action taken out by design?   
If so, I found it very useful on the installations that I use as  
content managers for other non-horde websites...any chance on putting  
it back in?  For curiosity - why was it taken out?

Second, just some notes on how my first pass at an update went.  The  
scripts seemed to run smoothly, after I fixed a database permission  
issue I had with the mysql horde user, but I think that might have  
been something that I had messed up at some point in the past.   
Anyway, on the first server things seemed to go fairly well, the  
galleries looked intact, the images, at first glance seemed to be  
where they belonged, but when I started going through the galleries  
image, by image, there were a few images (around 10 so far - out of  
about 500+) that were in the wrong place.  The captions on the images  
were the correct captions for what *should* have been there, but the  
image was the wrong one.  I have no idea at this point what could have  
caused this...and to be honest, since it would mean restoring my vfs  
and db tables from backup to retry and debug, I doubt I will look into  
it further...this is just really an FYI.

Now, on the seconed server, I completly trashed the vfs/datatree.   
This one was completely my fault.  On this machine, I had already  
seperated out the ansel data from the datatree - basically just using  
a seperate set of datatree tables for the ansel data.  When I modified  
the upgrade script to use my horde_datatree_ansel* tables, I missed  
one of the table names on a join. Sooooo.....when the script ran, it  
completely messed up mapping the image ids to the vfs.  Luckily,  
things were backed up and no harm done.  Again, this is just an FYI to  
let anyone who's interested know how things went....and to underline  
the importance of a backup!

Chuck, would it be worth either prompting the user for the datatree  
table names or maybe just grabbing it from the $conf array in case  
others have seperated ansel data into a seperate datatree?
